Part 9/12:
Despite substantial improvements, challenges remain. Some workers continue to endure crowded conditions, and restrictions on movement and social activities persist. The government has announced plans to gradually extend the duration of outdoor visits and ease transport restrictions, but complete normalization remains elusive as long as COVID-19 presents a threat.
The administration emphasizes that these measures are essential to prevent further outbreaks, but advocates argue that mental health and well-being should also be prioritized. Workers express hope that restrictions will eventually be lifted, allowing them to reconnect with the community, eat at hawker centers, and regain a sense of normal life.
