SINGAPORE, Oct 27 (The Straits Times/ANN): Although Singapore has managed to reduce new infection cases to zero or just a few in the past few weeks, this does not mean that the country has successfully eliminated Covid-19 from the community, experts cautioned.

Complacency could set in if people start letting their guard down, in the belief that the country has triumphed over the virus.
