Singapore is one of the first governments out of the gate with restrictions targeting the combination of Lunar New Year and COVID-19. Starting tomorrow, each household in the country will be limited to eight visitors a day.
That may sound like a lot compared to some places, but with the Lunar New Year coming, it’s a significant rule change in this community.
Also, individuals are asked to limit their visits to other households to two a day. And during the New Year celebrations, people should only visit family members.
These revised guidelines are coming from Singapore’s multi-agency task force that oversees coronavirus policy — headed by Education Minister Lawrence Wong.
