In addition, Singapore’s Ministry of Health has abolished the mask regime on public transport.
“The lowering of the response level from yellow to green is due to the fact that the global and local pandemic situation is stable and the disease is mild, especially among vaccinated individuals,” the publication cited a ministry statement.
The ministry also announced it was dropping its COVID-19 contact tracing app TraceTogether. However, authorities in Singapore noted that it is “useful” to keep such a system up and running. To that end, user registration information, such as names and cell phone numbers, will be stored in the TraceTogether database.
