SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): While the circuit breaker to limit the spread of the coronavirus here has worked, Singapore cannot revert to the status quo ante, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Wednesday (May 20).

Commenting for the first time after the Government outlined plans for Singapore to ease out of circuit breaker measures on Tuesday, Lee said in a Facebook post that people have to get used to a new normal, as returning to the previous state of affairs is not possible.
