SINGAPORE: Singapore saw a decrease in the number of road traffic accidents last year - as well as fatalities and injuries resulting from these accidents - compared to 2019, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) announced on Wednesday (Feb 10).
This was due in part to the COVID-19 situation, the police said, noting there was less traffic on the roads during Singapore’s two-month “circuit breaker” period - when many worked from home and social gatherings were banned as part of efforts to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
