Let’s cut to the chase.
Without a doubt, it’s disappointing to be back in Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) again.
Most of us were hoping to be able to go out, share a meal and socialise after more than a year under movement restrictions.
Sadly, it was not to be, as a sudden spike in cases arising from a KTV cluster and subsequently, the Jurong Fishery Port pushed Singapore back to Phase 2 (HA) again.
For many, it may feel a little like we are taking one step forward and two steps back.
Stay strong, dear reader.
We should keep our chins up.
Amid the sombre news, we should remember the positive work happening in the background.
The government is confident of achieving its target of getting two-thirds of its population fully vaccinated come National Day on 9 August.
Currently, the tally stands at 50%.
There’s light at the end of the proverbial tunnel that we will soon see the end of the pandemic, and the start of living with endemic COVID-19.
The current forecast of 4% to 6% in growth this year may be revised, but eventually, businesses will find growth again.
Investors who keep faith in strong companies should continue to enjoy encouraging financial numbers.
Stay strong.
We can get through this together.
