Singapore has now fully vaccinated 80% of its entire population against Covid-19, but the PM says that its Covid strategy isn’t sustainable

Singapore’s Prime Minister has admitted that a zero-covid strategy is not sustainable even with long lockdowns. This comes as the nation records an 80% vaccination rate – one of the world’s highest.
