As part of its strategy to reopen, school kids would be inoculated next month, and every adult who wants a shot would have one by early August.\n“In this new normal, the countries which are united, disciplined and put in place sensible safeguards, will be able to re-open their economies, re-connect to the rest of the world, grow and prosper,” Lee said. “Singapore will be among these countries.”\nThe speech comes as Singapore faces growing pressure to chart a path to normalization and revive its trade-reliant economy. It’s one of a handful of Covid havens that have succeeded in limiting local transmission, though that success risks becoming a straightjacket as officials impose aggressive restrictions to try to stamp out every small flareup. These places, which include Hong Kong, mainland China, New Zealand and Australia risk being left behind as other economies accept that Covid-19 is endemic and move on.\nLee said that the city-state would eventually become more tolerant to infections and accept that the coronavirus is here to stay.\n“In this new normal, we will have to learn to carry on with our lives even with the virus in our midst,” he said. “As long as our population is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to trace, isolate, and treat the cases that pop up, and prevent a severe and disastrous outbreak.”\nRestrictions on Track to Ease\nAfter June 13, Singapore is likely to ease restrictions that have been put in place for four weeks, if the recent outbreak driven by more contagious variants of the virus is seen to be coming under control. Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation. Singapore earliersaidit will lengthen the time between vaccination doses to six to eight weeks, in an effort to stretch out limited supply.\n“Everyone who is eligible for a vaccination and wants one should be able to get at least their first jab by National Day,” a day to mark the nation’s independence which falls on August 9, Lee said.\nAs of May 30, nearly 2.3 million people, or about 40% of the population, have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, according to the latest government statistics.\nSingapore has been on a bumpy path to reopening. Prior to the latest flareup, the city was pushing forward with high-profile initiatives designed to showcase its containment of the virus, like a travel bubble with Hong Kong and hosting international conferences like theWorld Economic Forum. These all had to be scrapped earlier this month as the new outbreak flared, forming clusters at the airport, a public hospital and shopping malls.\n— With assistance by Ranjeetha Pakiam, Kevin Varley, Melissa Cheok, Niluksi Koswanage, and Michael Arnold","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":119313409,"gmtCreate":1622518866101,"gmtModify":1631884478915,"author":{"id":"3578976238295519","authorId":"3578976238295519","name":"Chifield","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35652f65436cad86ed1f7c0d94afae69","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3578976238295519","authorIdStr":"3578976238295519"},"htmlText":"Take your vax!

Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations.

Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation. Singapore earliersaidit will lengthen the time between vaccination doses to six to eight weeks, in an effort to stretch out limited supply.\n“Everyone who is eligible for a vaccination and wants one should be able to get at least their first jab by National Day,” a day to mark the nation’s independence which falls on August 9, Lee said.\nAs of May 30, nearly 2.3 million people, or about 40% of the population, have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, according to the latest government statistics.\nSingapore has been on a bumpy path to reopening. Prior to the latest flareup, the city was pushing forward with high-profile initiatives designed to showcase its containment of the virus, like a travel bubble with Hong Kong and hosting international conferences like theWorld Economic Forum.

As part of its strategy to reopen, school kids would be inoculated next month, and every adult who wants a shot would have one by early August.\n“In this new normal, the countries which are united, disciplined and put in place sensible safeguards, will be able to re-open their economies, re-connect to the rest of the world, grow and prosper,” Lee said. “Singapore will be among these countries.”\nThe speech comes as Singapore faces growing pressure to chart a path to normalization and revive its trade-reliant economy. It’s one of a handful of Covid havens that have succeeded in limiting local transmission, though that success risks becoming a straightjacket as officials impose aggressive restrictions to try to stamp out every small flareup. These places, which include Hong Kong, mainland China, New Zealand and Australia risk being left behind as other economies accept that Covid-19 is endemic and move on.\nLee said that the city-state would eventually become more tolerant to infections and accept that the coronavirus is here to stay.\n“In this new normal, we will have to learn to carry on with our lives even with the virus in our midst,” he said. “As long as our population is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to trace, isolate, and treat the cases that pop up, and prevent a severe and disastrous outbreak.”\nRestrictions on Track to Ease\nAfter June 13, Singapore is likely to ease restrictions that have been put in place for four weeks, if the recent outbreak driven by more contagious variants of the virus is seen to be coming under control. Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation.

As part of its strategy to reopen, school kids would be inoculated next month, and every adult who wants a shot would have one by early August.\n“In this new normal, the countries which are united, disciplined and put in place sensible safeguards, will be able to re-open their economies, re-connect to the rest of the world, grow and prosper,” Lee said. “Singapore will be among these countries.”\nThe speech comes as Singapore faces growing pressure to chart a path to normalization and revive its trade-reliant economy. It’s one of a handful of Covid havens that have succeeded in limiting local transmission, though that success risks becoming a straightjacket as officials impose aggressive restrictions to try to stamp out every small flareup. These places, which include Hong Kong, mainland China, New Zealand and Australia risk being left behind as other economies accept that Covid-19 is endemic and move on.\nLee said that the city-state would eventually become more tolerant to infections and accept that the coronavirus is here to stay.\n“In this new normal, we will have to learn to carry on with our lives even with the virus in our midst,” he said. “As long as our population is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to trace, isolate, and treat the cases that pop up, and prevent a severe and disastrous outbreak.”\nRestrictions on Track to Ease\nAfter June 13, Singapore is likely to ease restrictions that have been put in place for four weeks, if the recent outbreak driven by more contagious variants of the virus is seen to be coming under control. Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation.

As part of its strategy to reopen, school kids would be inoculated next month, and every adult who wants a shot would have one by early August.\n“In this new normal, the countries which are united, disciplined and put in place sensible safeguards, will be able to re-open their economies, re-connect to the rest of the world, grow and prosper,” Lee said. “Singapore will be among these countries.”\nThe speech comes as Singapore faces growing pressure to chart a path to normalization and revive its trade-reliant economy. It’s one of a handful of Covid havens that have succeeded in limiting local transmission, though that success risks becoming a straightjacket as officials impose aggressive restrictions to try to stamp out every small flareup. These places, which include Hong Kong, mainland China, New Zealand and Australia risk being left behind as other economies accept that Covid-19 is endemic and move on.\nLee said that the city-state would eventually become more tolerant to infections and accept that the coronavirus is here to stay.\n“In this new normal, we will have to learn to carry on with our lives even with the virus in our midst,” he said. “As long as our population is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to trace, isolate, and treat the cases that pop up, and prevent a severe and disastrous outbreak.”\nRestrictions on Track to Ease\nAfter June 13, Singapore is likely to ease restrictions that have been put in place for four weeks, if the recent outbreak driven by more contagious variants of the virus is seen to be coming under control. Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation.

As part of its strategy to reopen, school kids would be inoculated next month, and every adult who wants a shot would have one by early August.\n“In this new normal, the countries which are united, disciplined and put in place sensible safeguards, will be able to re-open their economies, re-connect to the rest of the world, grow and prosper,” Lee said. “Singapore will be among these countries.”\nThe speech comes as Singapore faces growing pressure to chart a path to normalization and revive its trade-reliant economy. It’s one of a handful of Covid havens that have succeeded in limiting local transmission, though that success risks becoming a straightjacket as officials impose aggressive restrictions to try to stamp out every small flareup. These places, which include Hong Kong, mainland China, New Zealand and Australia risk being left behind as other economies accept that Covid-19 is endemic and move on.\nLee said that the city-state would eventually become more tolerant to infections and accept that the coronavirus is here to stay.\n“In this new normal, we will have to learn to carry on with our lives even with the virus in our midst,” he said. “As long as our population is mostly vaccinated, we should be able to trace, isolate, and treat the cases that pop up, and prevent a severe and disastrous outbreak.”\nRestrictions on Track to Ease\nAfter June 13, Singapore is likely to ease restrictions that have been put in place for four weeks, if the recent outbreak driven by more contagious variants of the virus is seen to be coming under control. Still, it’s unlikely that all the recent measures will be removed as the easing will be done in a controlled manner, officials said at a briefing following Lee’s speech.\nThe country’s rise in cases, including some from a more contagious variant of the virus first identified in India, prompted authorities toreimposesome lockdown-like conditions for a month from May 16. The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation.

The measures include a ban on dining-in, a return to work-from-home and limiting outdoor group sizes to a maximum of just two. Due to the spike, Singapore this monthfellone place from its top notch in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking.\n“Barring another super-spreader or big cluster, we should be on track to bring this outbreak under control,” Lee said, stressing the importance of testing, contact tracing and vaccination in the country’s reopening strategy. “We will know for sure in another week or so.”\nMeanwhile, bookings for more than 400,000 students to get their shots will open June 1 with priority given to those sitting for national examinations. Inoculation for young adultsaged39 years old and younger will take place after that, around mid-June.\nWith faster and cheaper testing that might also involve over-the-counter DIY tests, Singapore will be able to routinely test individuals whose jobs involve close contact with many people such as sports and fitness instructors. Lee said authorities will also routinely test people who appear well, arguing that extensive testing will allow the country to resume larger scale gatherings or events, such as concerts or wedding receptions.\nVaccination Plans\nLee said the nation’s target is to get two-thirds of its residents vaccinated with at least the first dose and it should be able to do this by early July, provided supplies come in as planned.\nHe flagged there will be faster vaccine deliveries over the next two months, allowing the country to further speed up inoculation. Singapore earliersaidit will lengthen the time between vaccination doses to six to eight weeks, in an effort to stretch out limited supply.\n“Everyone who is eligible for a vaccination and wants one should be able to get at least their first jab by National Day,” a day to mark the nation’s independence which falls on August 9, Lee said.\nAs of May 30, nearly 2.3 million people, or about 40% of the population, have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, according to the latest government statistics.\nSingapore has been on a bumpy path to reopening. Prior to the latest flareup, the city was pushing forward with high-profile initiatives designed to showcase its containment of the virus, like a travel bubble with Hong Kong and hosting international conferences like theWorld Economic Forum. These all had to be scrapped earlier this month as the new outbreak flared, forming clusters at the airport, a public hospital and shopping malls.\n— With assistance by Ranjeetha Pakiam, Kevin Varley, Melissa Cheok, Niluksi Koswanage, and Michael Arnold","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":129,"commentSize":52,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
