Cant slacken in efforts to check COVID-19, says Singapore PM
COMMENTS Singapore cannot afford to slacken in its effort to keep COVID-19 in check as the virus will rear its head in new and unimaginable ways, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said. The city state is also issuing general correction directions to Facebook, Twitter and SPH Magazines under the Singapore Press Holdings over falsehoods about a “Singapore variant” of COVID-19 under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA). The “Singapore variant” of COVID-19 became a diplomatic issue between Singapore and India following Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwals Twitter post on Tuesday, asking the central government to immediately halt air services with Singapore claiming that a new coronavirus strain found in that country is particularly harmful to children and could trigger a third wave of the pandemic in India.
