544 COVID-19 Cases Today (2 June); 1 Is A Singaporean/Permanent Resident

Today’s the first day of Phase One.

You might’ve noticed more car breakdowns being reported on the way to work, radio DJs cheering that car servicing shops are open again and see more people on the streets than what you’ve seen over the past week…combined.

So how does the first day look like?

Is this a good omen for an early entry into Phase Two?

We’ll tell you the numbers, you decide.

544 COVID-19 Cases Today (2 June)

As of 2 June 2020, 12pm, the number of new Covid-19 cases confirmed today is 544.

The majority of the cases are foreign workers in dormitories.

There are four community cases: one Singaporean/PR while three are work pass holders.

This brings the total number of Covid-19 cases in Singapore to 35,836.

As of 1 June, 63% (22,457) of 35,292 Covid-19 patients have been discharged. Another 344 are still in the hospitals, including 7 in intensive care.

While CB has ended, remember to continue following safe distancing measures because like PM Lee has said, dealing with Covid-19 isn’t a short dash but a long, steady jog.

Covid-19 Far From Defeated

Today (2 June), the much-detested circuit breaker has finally come to an end, and Phase 1 of the safe reopening has begun.

But we still need to keep our guard up and continue with all the practices encouraged by medical experts, PM Lee says in a Facebook post.

This includes maintaining safe distancing and good personal hygiene, wearing masks when outdoors and at work, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding crowds and gatherings.

“If we all do this, then life can go on more or less normally after the circuit breaker. We don’t want COVID-19 cases to spike up again, and be forced to tighten up once more”, he said.

TL; DR: Better be good boys and girls or I’ll just CB you all again.

PM Lee also pointed out that we might have to get comfortable with the idea that life may not return to normal for a long, long time, even if we produce a vaccine.

“Even after a vaccine is found, everything will not simply go back to the way it was before. COVID-19 has exposed how vulnerable our way of life is.”

National Development Minister Lawrence Wong echoed this sentiment in a Money FM 89.3 radio interview, saying that Singaporeans will have to get used to a “new normal” was of living, and urged residents not to expect to go back to a pre-Covid-19 way of life.

“We should think of this as a new normal – a state which we can expect to remain until a vaccine or treatment is developed,” he said.
