We are approaching the third week of Singapore’s COVID-19 “circuit breaker”.
For many, it must have felt like an eternity.
Most of us have had to adapt to a new way of life, from limiting our movement outside, spending most of our time at home to wearing a mask whenever we go out.
Still, it’s a minor inconvenience to stay at home compared to workers taking pay cuts or being retrenched.
Or healthcare workers who are putting their lives on the line to help those who have been infected get better.
Or food delivery workers and cleaners who continue to put in the hours to support the daily needs of many.
Unfortunately, we all will have to walk through this difficult period for a little longer.
On Wednesday, the Singapore government announced the extension of the circuit breaker till 1 June.
The extension is necessary but will come at a cost.
More shops and businesses will be closed to further curb the spread of this insidious enemy.
