SINGAPORE, Nov 28 (Bloomberg): Singapore is watching the impact of the new omicron variant "very closely” and may be forced to roll back some easing measures it had taken to open up the economy, according to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

"We are not sure yet, but we may be well be forced to take a few steps back before we can take more steps forward,” Lee said in a speech on Sunday at a convention by his ruling party.
