Daily Dose June 18 : The Countdown begins

Daily Dose: The Countdown Begins
Phase 2 is set to start tomorrow. There are many who are already making
weekend plans, especially for Father's Day.
While it could be liberating, unlike some countries that chosen to lift restrictive measures, Singapore does not have the privilege of zero cases. On the contrary, daily cases remain over hundreds and undetected cases in the community would pop up every other day.
It is not party time as seen with cases jumping back up again after the announcements. Start the countdown, but do not go all out to celebrate. With more interaction, it would mean more risks.
Stay vigilant and stay safe!
1) 247 cases confirmed
242 Dorms
5 community ( 2 SC/PR, 3 work permit)
Breaking 2 consecutive days of zero cases, 2 SC/PR cases are detected. Dorms
cases spike up again from a low of 149 to 242. This probably indicates that
more tests were done in dorms.
Community cases continue to be picked up by proactive screening. This implies
that the virus remains undetected and that there are more hidden cases in the
community.
2) 4 more spots identified as places where cases had been when they are
infectious
Take note if you had been to the following area
1 Cold Storage supermarket at Siglap V on June 5 between 6.15am and 6.55am, and again on June 7 between 7.05am and 7.55am

3) Tuition Centers must implement more safety measures to reopen
Not all Tuition Centers will open tomorrow. Some would need to reduce class
sizes and reschedule before they are allowed to open
4) DC Super Heros Cafe- MBS to close its doors for good

8) Ikea to open stores with strict safe distancing measures

a little longer for Swedish meatballs and chicken wings
9) All secondary school students to get a personal laptop or tablets by
2021

10) Singaporeans, PR who left the country before March 27 will have the
cost of Covid19 tests waived till end August.
The ministry reiterated that for “avoidance of doubt”, all travellers —
including Singapore citizens and permanent residents — who last left

have to continue to bear the cost of their stay at dedicated stay-home
notice facilities as well as the cost of their Covid-19 tests.
