SINGAPORE, July 5 — Singapore’s priority now is to speed up Covid-19 vaccinations before re-opening its border, an important part of the republic’s recovery process, according to Finance Minister Lawrence Wong.

“We understand the concerns. But we are also very mindful that if we re-open prematurely before we reach high-enough vaccination rates, we could end up with another wave of infections, and a surge in hospitalisation and intensive care unit cases,” he said. The total number of doses administered was 5,706,932, covering 3,550,181 individuals while 2,156,751 individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.
