Singapore
FRESH restrictions on social activities are a blow to hopes for a strong consumer rebound, although business leaders acknowledged that restrictions are needed as a fresh domestic Covid-19 outbreak leaves policymakers "particularly concerned".
Members of the public have been urged by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to avoid crowds, and to stay home where possible. They should also limit interactions, such as visiting another household or gathering in a public area, to just two meetings a day.
