Images of Sentosa During Circuit Breaker Period Show It’s Now Become a State of Emptiness

The nickname for Sentosa is The State of Fun, and it’s the go-to for any tourist visiting Singapore.

All Attractions Closed & Sentosa Express Service Reduced Frequency

Sentosa said in a Facebook post that all attractions, beaches, theme parks, museums and casinos are closed, and only some F&B outlets would be open.

In addition, they even advised people not to go to the island during this Circuit Breaker period.

Shuttle buses and Sentosa Express (think: monorail) would still operate but at a reduced frequency.

There would be minimal workforce in the island, too.

They’ve made some videos and images that you can use to put behind you while you have your WFH meetings, like this:

Quite, erm, sad, isn’t it?

On the bright side, we’re now 7 days into the Circuit Breaker period. 21 more days to go!
