It Never Goes Away
Daily Dose : It never goes away
A day after announcing a slew of positive measures for Covid19 such as the easing of General Travel to NZ and Brunei, relaxation of F&B rules and outdoor exercises, there is a new report on a new cluster.
Given that the new cluster is located at Singapore's largest dorms, it is not exactly the news we were hoping for. Nonetheless, the key to keeping things status quo or moving up to the next level is to continue to be vigilant. Do not be complacent because the numbers are getting lower. We could very well revert back to CB days in the turn of a dime.
1) 50 new Covid19 cases
- 43 Dorms
- 2 Community (2 SC)
