Singapore May Move to Second Phase of Reopening at End of June

Singapore will move to the next phase of re-opening around the end of June and resume more activities if all goes well, the city-state’s Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong said in a Facebook post on Monday.

• A phased re-opening will give the government better control of the situation. If new cases emerge, it will be easier to detect and ringfence quickly.
• Government plans to continue with pro-active testing of different segments of the population.
• Wong said he expects coronavirus infections to rise in Singapore when activities get resumed as there are still hidden cases in the general population. For instance, 16,000 teachers were recently tested and 8 cases were detected ahead of the country preparing to open pre-schools on June 2.
