Singapore Is Still Having ‘Far Too Many Public Gatherings,’ Prime Minister Says

(Bloomberg) -- On third day of stricter enforcement, Singapore is still seeing “far too many public gatherings,” Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong writes in Facebook post.

• “From today, any group gathering in public will immediately be issued a written warning by enforcement officers.”
  • “The more we take liberties with the Stay Home measures, the longer these painful measures will have to last. I know we all want to go back to normalcy, but this can only happen if we take things seriously,” Lee said.
• NOTE: Singapore reported its largest daily increase in coronavirus cases on Wednesday, just as the city-state implemented stricter social distancing measures set to last several weeks to contain the spread of the infection.
