Singapore could still be living with restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus for more than a year, even after it enters the next stage of pandemic easing measures as cases comes under control.
“Phase 3 is not a free-for-all,” Education Minister Lawrence Wong, who also co-chairs the city-state’s virus task force, said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “We will be in Phase 3 for quite a while because it will last until an effective vaccine or treatment is widely available.”
