COVID-19 Laws in S’pore Amended And Now, They Don’t Have an End Date

Previously, Covid-19 laws meant to keep us home, wear masks outside and other precautionary measures were supposed to end on 2 June.

But the phrase “for the period between 7 April 2020 and 1 June 2020 (both dates inclusive)” was removed on 1 June as part of the amendments, so these laws could be enforced for the foreseeable future.

A few of the other amendments including extending “members of the household” to include more people, including those who have a written or oral agreement to live in the same house.

So, if your unmarried partner or friend lives with you, then she’s a member of your household.

You are also allowed to visit your parents and grandparents now.

Social gatherings are still illegal and face shields are no longer acceptable with a few exceptions.

Just like before, if you flout any of these regulations, harsh penalties await.

Offenders could be jailed for up to six months, fined $10,000, or both.

We may not be happy with these laws, but our health should be prioritised over everything else right now.
