It’s been four weeks since Singapore implemented its circuit breaker measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
Halfway through April, the measures were tightened as community spread numbers stayed stubbornly high.
Thankfully, community cases have started to taper off.
Yesterday, some good news was announced.
From 5 May, some selected businesses and activities are allowed to resume. These include exercise and dog-walking on condominium and private residential grounds, as well as TCM treatments.
From 12 May, some businesses such as laundry services, hair salons and barbers are allowed to operate again.
Though the government has lifted some of the earlier measures, we should still not be complacent as community spread numbers remain in the low double-digit levels.
The same diligence should be applied to stocks.
