Singapore now easing Covid-19 curbs in shift to life with virus


SINGAPORE, Aug 7 (Bloomberg): Singapore have announced plans to ease Covid restrictions on daily life and begin slightly loosening border controls, citing a vaccination rate that now ranks among the best in the world.

Dining-in will resume and group sizes will be raised to five from two on Aug. 10 for those who have been fully vaccinated, officials said, outlining a strategy that will intentionally treat those who’ve had both shots differently from those who haven’t.

Work-from-home rules are expected to ease the following week. The country will also restart entry approvals for fully vaccinated foreign workers and their dependents.
