Singapore set to relax COVID restrictions, gradually
Singapore is getting set to ease coronavirus restrictions, as cases within the nation fall
Singapore’s government said it will start easing COVID-19 related restrictions as the number of daily infections continues to decline.
The Southeast Asian country last month tightened rules including social distancing, to curb a rise in locally transmitted COVID-19 infections.
Those measures, included no dining-in at cafes and restaurants and smaller social gatherings.
Starting Monday, Singapore will allow social gatherings of five people — an increase from the current two-person limit.
The government confirmed limits on events and operating capacity at venues such as public libraries will also be relaxed.
“We will have to learn to live with the virus and then try our best to minimise transmission”
Singapore’s finance minister said.

There will be further easing of restrictions from June 21.
Activities such as dine-in as well as some mask-off activities at gyms and fitness studios will be allowed to resume with some social-distancing measures in place.
However, work from home will remain the default for those who can do so, said the government.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
