Daily Dose June 20 : Good Old Days?
|
Singapore Reopens
Day 1 of Phase 2 had seen droves of locals out in the malls and restaurants.
It has been mostly orderly and compliant.
However, the evening tells a different tale. Although pubs are not opened,
cafes that sell alcoholic drinks are also popular with many gathering drinking
and chatting without masks. It's back to the 'good old days'.
141 Dorms
1 Community
Phase 2 Day 1 also marked the lowest number of confirmed cases in weeks.
Similar to Day 1 of Phase 1, there is no local cases reported with almost all
cases in dorms. A coincidence?
Do note that this does not mean that community cases are eradicated. The days
following Phase 2 saw a spike in community cases that were higher last the
last week of the circuit breaker. With testing compulsory for close contacts
of confirmed cases and those above 45 with ARI from next week, expect to see
the numbers jump.

4) Singapore Pools Outlets to reopen on Monday with 4D and TOTO to take
place next week
Some rules will be changed, eg TOTO. If you had saved money over the past 2
weeks, you might want to continue the good habit.
5) More than 10 accidents reported on Day 1 of Covid19
Probably not used to driving after 2 months. Forgot that there are more cars
on the road now.
6) More religious activities to resume in Phase 2 of reopening
Congregational and other worship services, starting with up to 50 people at a
time, excluding religious and supporting workers, may resume from June 26 to
allow religious organisations to prepare safe management measures.
7) Man Charged over pushing trolley against transport ambassador who
advised him on mask
Asked to cover mask on train, he attempted to escape there after. Drama
8) 7 sights we will miss in Phase 2
With Phase 2 back to normalcy, we might be too busy to notice these.
9) Govt Run Columbariums to open in Phase 2
Government-managed columbariums in Choa Chu Kang, Mandai and Yishun will be
open to the public again from today after more than two months of closure due
to the coronavirus pandemic.
10) Not all retailers are open. Uniqlo Singapore had chosen to delay
opening till safe measures are in.

11) Singaporean may be allowed to enter Malaysia without Covid19
restrictions but should be reciprocal.
In other words, you don't test me, don't quarantine me and I will do to same
12 Night scene in Singapore during Phase 2 Day 1
Large crowds spotted all over the island along popular haunts despite pubs closures. Cafe serving alcoholic drinks filled in the gaps for pubs.
