The pandemic has tremendously changed the way we live, learn and work. Gone are the days when you bid someone with a hug or kiss. Now you go for social distancing, fist or elbow bumps and wearing masks are part of the post-pandemic era. Although the vaccines are rolling out for emergency use, new COVID-19 variants found in the United Kingdom and South Africa take a jab in different regions, which are more contagious than the former.
As of this time of writing, there are over 9 million active cases in the country. Pfizer and Moderna say their vaccines can handle these new strains. But before you get excited about the progress and development, it was reported that Singapore’s Education Minister Lawrence Wong said that COVID-19 could last four to five years. There are reported delays in production and barriers when it comes to procurement, especially in developing countries.
