On Friday, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said Singapore will need to prepare for a momentary wave of COVID-19 infections and do everything possible to prevent it.
At a press convention of the group of multidepartmental brokers, Gan cited the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in places such as South Korea, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong, with giant teams forming at events, nightlife establishments, restaurants and schools. Training
He noted that these new clusters arose because other people came out when they were sick, did not practice social distance or were most likely transmitted due to deficiencies in occupational protection management.
Working Group Co-Chair Lawrence Wong said all foreigners living in dormitories will be assessed by mid-August.
On Thursday, about 232,000 of the 300,000 foreigners living in dormitories in Singapore were recovered or tested to see if they were free of the virus.
Singapore is in phase 2 of its reopening after an era of “break-up” to stop the spread of COVID-19, with corporations resuming their activities.
The weak external call and COVID-19 circuit breaker measures, which close non-essential businesses for almost two months, have had a negative effect on the economy.
Singapore is now in a technical recession after two consecutive intertrimestral contractions. Gross domestic product declined to 41.2% in the April-June quarter, exacerbating the 3.3% contraction in the first 3 months.
