Singapore rules out further tightening of pandemic curbs; current measures enough, says minister


SINGAPORE, May 29 (dpa): Singapore's pandemic-related restrictions are "working" and have helped to stall a slight rise in case numbers since last month, the city-state's finance minister, Lawrence Wong, said on Friday (May 28).

Saying case numbers had "even declined slightly" since the rules were brought in two weeks ago, Wong ruled out any "further tightening of posture" ahead of the June 13 end-date for the measures, which include limiting restaurants to takeaway or delivery, and capping attendance at events at 100 people.
