Singapore to move on second phase of reopening by end of June: report

Government plans to continue testing the population.

Singapore will move to the next phase of reopening around the end of June and resume more activities if all goes well, according to Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong.

A phased reopening will give the government better control of the situation. If new cases emerge, it will be easier to detect and ring-fence quickly.

The government also plans to continue with proactive testing of different segments of the population.

Wong said he expects coronavirus infections to rise in Singapore when activities get resumed as there are still hidden cases in the general population. There are expected to be other undetected asymptomatic cases in the community and the government needs to move cautiously, he added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
