SINGAPORE, May 29 (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore has started planning for the possibility that Covid-19 may become endemic here, said Finance Minister Lawrence Wong.

This could mean Singaporeans will need to get booster jabs from time to time, he noted. In the coming months, better treatments could also be developed for the disease, making it less of something to fear, he added at a virtual press conference.
