Singapore's prime minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday announced a new raft of restrictive measures in the country's ongoing fight against the coronavirus.
Although refraining from using the word lockdown, Lee said that Singapore would apply “circuit breakers” that include closing most workplaces, except for essential services and key economic sectors.
Food establishments, markets and supermarkets, clinics, hospitals, utilities, transport and key banking services will remain open.
