As the number of Covid-19 community cases rises during phase two of the economy reopening, people should be wary but not paranoid, say health experts.
What is important is for the community to keep their guard up and continue practising good habits such as keeping a safe distance from other people, limiting social activities to small groups, and wearing a mask when outdoors, they said.
The Ministry of Health said yesterday that overall, the number of new cases in the community has increased from an average of 12 cases per day in the week before to an average of 14 per day in the past week.
The number of unlinked community cases has also gone up from an average of six per day in the week before to an average of eight per day in the past week.
Yesterday, cinemas became the latest to resume business with safe management measures in place, following the reopening of food outlets for dine-in service and attractions such as wildlife parks.
Infectious disease expert Leong Hoe Nam told The New Paper: “The reopening of attractions will draw in cases, and no country has been able to avoid subsequent ‘waves’ of the disease after reopening.”
