Cost of pre-event testing a concern: live event organisers

Singapore

In Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's live national address last month, he gave details about the shift towards preventive testing for Covid-19 in Singapore. Such extensive testing would give Singapore the confidence to resume larger-scale events or gatherings.
