Minister Lawrence Wong, the face of the battle against Covid-19, explains why Singapore must still be careful when reopening the economy.

He said that for every symptomatic Covid-19 patient, there is an asymptomatic Covid-19 case out there.

And because there is a risk of asymptomatic transmission, no matter what WHO says, we still have to keep our masks on and avoid meeting with friends for the time being.
