Singapore has decided to scale down its reopening plans amid dozens of new cases over the last week, even as some countries with similarly high rates of vaccination allow a resumption of social activities and freer travel.
The government announced that from Monday, higher-risk activities such as dining-in at restaurants and going to the gym can resume in groups of up to two people -- instead of five, as had been previously announced.
