Mask rules, group size cap, border curbs eased as Singapore reaches 'turning point'
These changes are 'a major step towards living with Covid-19', PM Lee says, though he adds 'they stop short of a complete opening up'
Singapore
MASKS off outdoors, social gatherings of up to 10 people, and quarantine-free entry for all fully vaccinated travellers. More than 2 years into the Covid-19 pandemic, Singapore is making its most sweeping relaxations to domestic and border restrictions yet.
These changes mark "a major step towards living with Covid-19", Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told the public on Thursday (Mar 24), though he added "they stop short of a complete opening up".
