SINGAPORE (AP): Singaporeans can wine and dine at restaurants, work out at the gym and socialise with no more than five people at a time as of Friday (June 19), when the city-state removed most of its Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic lockdown restrictions.

The latest relaxation comes as reopenings in many places around the world are touching off fresh spikes in infections, raising questions about how to live with the virus without causing unnecessary deaths or economic catastrophe.
