The Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced on 19 May 2020 that Singapore will exit the Circuit Breaker when it ends on 1 June, and embark on a three-phased approach to resume activities safely.

Here’s what you need to know about the three phases:

Phase One: Safe Re-opening
From 2 Jun 2020, Singapore will gradually re-open economic activities that do not pose high risk of transmission. Social, economic and entertainment activities with a higher risk will remain closed.

Safe Workplaces: Some businesses to re-open with Safe Management measures: Most retail outlets, dining at F&B outlets and other personal services will not resume operations in this phase.

Phase Two: Safe Transition
The Government will carefully monitor the effects of increased activity in Phase One, and if the community infection rates remain low and stable over the subsequent two weeks, Phase Two could happen before the end of June.

Retail, F&B, personal health and wellness, home-based services, sports and public facilities: Most businesses will be allowed to resume, with safe management measures, group size and capacity limits in place.

Phase Three: Safe Nation
In this phase, Singapore would have reached a new normal. We will likely remain at this state until an effective vaccine or treatment is developed.
