Singapore is planning for a phased reopening and “new normal” under the assumption that Covid-19 can be controlled through mass vaccination but may never fully go away, three key ministers wrote in a column in a local newspaper.
“We are drawing up a road map to transit to this new normal, in tandem with the achievement of our vaccination milestones, though we know the battle against Covid-19 will continue to be fraught with uncertainty,” Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong and Health Minister Ong Ye Kung jointly wrote in The Straits Times on Thursday.
