Speaking at the People’s Action Party (PAP) convention, Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong says Singapore is tracking the emerging Omicron variant but the country must remain prepared for more bumps along the way.
“Right now, a new variant of concern is emerging. We’ve learnt a new word – the Omicron variant. We are tracking this very closely. We are not sure yet, but we may well be forced to take a few steps back before we can take more steps forward,” said Mr Lee.
“But despite all this, I am confident that we will find our way to living with the virus, and safely resume all the things we love to do. We are making all this effort because we want to get there safely, suffering as few casualties along the way as possible.”
