Singapore
SINGAPORE'S roadmap towards living with Covid-19 was sketched out on Monday, with curbs to be eased as soon as early August for vaccinated persons - who may also be exempt from 14-day stay-home notices (SHN) when returning from certain countries after early September.
Business groups welcomed the clarity and expect higher vaccination rates to bring stability. Said Singapore Business Federation chief executive officer Lam Yi Young: "Businesses welcome the re-opening roadmap, which provides greater certainty for their operations and allows them to better plan their resources."
