Singapore has been easing border restrictions as part of a wider plan to take an endemic approach to the virus, similar to that of many other countries.
Singapore is watching the impact of the new omicron variant “very closely” and may be forced to roll back some easing measures it had taken to open up the economy, according to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
“We are not sure yet, but we may well be forced to take a few steps back before we can take more steps forward,” Lee said in a speech on Nov 28 at a convention by his ruling party. “But despite all this, I’m confident we will find a way to living with the virus and safely resume all the things we love to do.”
