Today, the Multi-Ministry Task Force announced further restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19. The measures start this Sunday, 16 May, and will be in place till 13 June.
The new clusters and unlinked community cases in the past fortnight are very worrying. We are testing more intensively, and doing our utmost to ring-fence the transmissions. But we also need stricter restrictions to stop more cases from popping up.
Please stay at home as far as possible, go out only for essential tasks, and follow government advisories. If you do go out, remember to practise safe distancing measures, like using TraceTogether and wearing a mask.
Also do get vaccinated once it is offered to you. This will protect yourself and your loved ones.
The new measures will be difficult for everybody. But if we all play our part and look out for one another, we will succeed in stemming the transmission of the virus, just like we did last year. – LHL
