SINGAPORE, Feb 19 (The Straits Times/ANN): After three long years, the Covid-19 pandemic is over for Singapore, with masks no longer required on public transport since Feb 13 and the national disease response system at a tranquil green. The pandemic hit the world hard, killing 6.84 million people globally.

The Government will soon be releasing an after-action review “to set out what we did right, what we could have done better, and how we can better prepare ourselves for the next pandemic”, said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the final multi-ministry task force (MTF) media conference on Feb 9.
