The government has finally announced the gradual re-opening of the economy come 2 June 2020.
The circuit breaker measures were first implemented on 7 April in response to the escalating COVID-19 pandemic.
Community-linked cases back then were high and it was impossible to do contact tracing for all who contracted the virus.
Fortunately, unlinked cases have since been brought down to single-digit.
To be sure, “safe re-opening” does not imply a reversion to our normal lives.
Though some of the restrictions have been relaxed, dining-in is still disallowed and everyone will have to continue wearing face masks.
Only when the situation improves significantly can we move on to phase 2 – safe transition.
