SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Singapore will remove mandatory mask-wearing on public transport - the most enduring and visible of the Covid-19 curbs - as authorities see significantly reduced threats from the virus.
The government said Singapore’s virus situation had remained stable despite the increased travel, the winter season in the northern hemisphere and China’s shift from a Covid Zero policy. Singapore’s alert level was reduced to green from yellow, indicating the disease was mild.
