Singapore has already started easing some measures gradually from last week. However, June 2 is beginning to look like a date which will be one re-opening milestone out of many and not a date when everything will return to normal suddenly - if they ever will.  Singapore, a leading global biotechnological research and manufacturing hub, is one of the centres where research into therapies and vaccines for Covid-19 is taking place. Singapore initially kept the virus in check with a strict regime of testing and contact tracing, only for serious outbreaks to emerge later in dormitories housing low-paid foreign workers. The city-state now has the highest recorded number of infections in Southeast Asia with nearly 39,000 cases, mostly among foreign workers. The death toll stands at 25.
