Lee noted that the number of new community cases has stabilised over the last two weeks, and that the tightened measures to keep Singaporeans safe are working.

Tomorrow, he will share how Singapore plans to keep Covid-19 under control, while progressively opening up again.

Lee added: "The solution: Testing, contact tracing, and vaccinating, all faster, and more. Also: What will the new normal be like?”

Singapore reported 25 new cases of Covid-19 today, 19 of which were in the community.

It took the country’s overall tally of infections to 62,028. — TODAY
