SINGAPORE — Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will be giving a live address at 4pm on Monday (May 31) on how Singapore plans to keep Covid-19 under control, he announced on his Facebook page on Sunday.

The speech will be telecast live on Mediacorp channels and on Mr Lee's Facebook page.

Mr Lee noted that the number of new community cases has stabilised over the last two weeks, and that the tightened measures to keep Singaporeans safe are working.

On Monday, he will share how Singapore plans to keep Covid-19 under control, while progressively opening up again.

Mr Lee added: "The solution: Testing, contact tracing, and vaccinating, all faster, and more. Also: What will the new normal be like?"

The last time Mr Lee had given a public address specifically on the Covid-19 situation was in December last year, when he announced Phase Three of Singapore's gradual reopening.

Prior to that, he had also given a live address in April 2020 to announce the extension of the circuit breaker period.

Singapore reported 25 new cases of Covid-19 on Sunday, 19 of which were in the community.

It took the country's overall tally of infections to 62,028.
