Patients are located so it would be easy for us to inform the Decision Making<\/a> on what to do next the government provides free testing and medical treatment for those who need it while campaigns to raise awareness continue. Door such a pari aljazeera. Senegals president says people will have to adapt to living with the viruses he eases lock down restrictions night time curfews and shorter markets and businesses are allowed to open as long as a shop for cleaning one day a week but schools will remain closed until next month singapore has also begun to ease restrictions some businesses including hairdressers and pet stores are now open and next week small groups of students will be allowed to return to school and the Health Ministry<\/a> says restrictions are being lifted gradually to avoid a 2nd wave of infections is reported nearly 24000 cases from slowly has more now from parliament. Singapore is taking tentative steps to reopen its economy home based businesses and barber shops have been allowed to reopen but dine in services and restaurants are still not allowed and most people will still have to continue working from home now it is true that singapore has reported a high number of corona virus cases the vast majority or around 85 percent Migrant Workers<\/a> living in dormitories the Health Minister<\/a> says the number of new cases in the Wider Community<\/a> has been in decline especially since strict the measures were put in place the 3rd in the 3rd week of april now the w. H. O. Has listed 6 conditions for countries that are looking to ease restrictions and this includes the ability to detect tests trace and isolate and treat coronavirus patients and Singapore Says<\/a> it intends to ramp up testing to conduct as many as 40000. 00 tests a day and its also building more facilities to isolate and treat current virus patients but of course as with many other countries around the world thats very much a sense that this is also driven by the economy the central bank has 4 cars that growth will shrink between one and 4 percent of this year they call them is predicting that job losses is going to be of historic proportions this year and the central bank is also for cars that singapore is expected to suffer its worst recession ever ok lets move to the United Kingdom<\/a> where the government has detailed how it plans to leave the country out of the pandemic changes include removing limits on outdoor exercise and encouraging certain sectors to go but work but its a report says still confusion about Prime Minister<\/a> Boris Johnson<\/a> is later sky. In it for the long haul and an easing of the lockdown that is conditional on progress in fighting the virus as the Prime Minister<\/a> sets out the new measures for england it was clear that there would be little that would be returning to normal sectors that are allowed to be should indeed be open subject subject to social distancing with a cabbie at this pandemic was going nowhere yet if youre not level begins to rise we will have no hesitation in putting on the brakes reintroducing measures locally regionally or national.
