Singapore to move on second phase of reopening by end of June: report

Government plans to continue testing the population.

Singapore will move to the next phase of reopening around the end of June and resume more activities if all goes well, according to Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong.

A phased reopening will give the government better control of the situation. If new cases emerge, it will be easier to detect and ring-fence quickly.

The government also plans to continue with proactive testing of different segments of the population.

Wong said he expects coronavirus infections to rise in Singapore when activities get resumed as there are still hidden cases in the general population. There are expected to be other undetected asymptomatic cases in the community and the government needs to move cautiously, he added.
