Phase 3 could last for a year or more: Gan

Singapore

PHASE Three of Singapore's reopening could last for more than a year, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong in Parliament on Wednesday, replying to a question from Tampines Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui.

"To recap, Phase Three is not a return to the pre-Covid status quo, but a new normal which will last until such time the rest of the world also has the virus under tight control or when effective treatments or vaccines are widely available," he said.
