Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Singapore wants to stop counting Covid cases. Its roadmap could be a model for other countries
After nearly 18 months of the Covid-19 pandemic, strict restrictions were imposed, loosened, and again tightened as Delta variant infections surge. Each day, the number of cases and deaths are reported, and governments, health officials, and citizens feel more worried or relieved daily. But isn’t that about the time to find a way to get our lives back to normal or live under the new norms? As more people are being vaccinated, it might be possible to shift to more bearable and sustainable ways to deal and live with Covid-19, just like influenza or chickenpox. Singapore is known for its early implementation of strict restrictions called the zero transmission model, such as quarantine measures, mask requirement, and social distancing enforcement, which no one, including the health officials, wants to continue forever. Now, they came up with a roadmap to bring life back to normal. With higher vaccination coverage among all age groups, quicker testing methods than PCR, and more disciplined social responsibility by every citizen, they think Covid-19 can be managed just like other contagious diseases.
Singapore is known for its swift action to cope with the Covid-19 including tracking app and devices and strict quarantines. Now the city-state is seeking swift ways to recover from the highly contagious but becoming more manageable disease.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about new ways to live with Covid-19.
