How soon we can implement it depends on everyone, co-chair of the Covid-19 task force, Lawrence Wong said
Just two weeks ago, the multi-ministry task force shared in parliament that it was preparing Singapore to enter Phase 3 with an expected timeline and changes to the current safety regulations released in the coming weeks.
“If all of us continue to work together and keep our guard up even as more activities resume, we will be able to keep the pandemic under control and progress towards further opening up our economy and society steadily,” minister of health Gan Kim Yong had said.
Social gatherings of up to eight people
“For instance, we could consider allowing for general group sizes larger than five, so that larger families or groups of friends could meet and have meals together.”
In a press conference today, Mr Gan disclosed more information, announcing that social gatherings of up to eight people will be allowed outside the home and that each household may receive up to eight visitors in Phase 3.
“This would allow families with more than five persons to be able to get together and enjoy some face-to-face time that no amount of virtual interaction can replace,” Mr Gan said.
