Watch the full press conference, held on June 24 by the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19.
Among the key announcements, Singapore will accelerate its national vaccination programme from Saturday (June 26) and administer up to 80,000 vaccine doses daily.
About 47,000 doses are given out daily today. The ramp is due to the delivery of vaccine supplies being brought forward, and the Ministry of Health expects to add another 500,000 new slots for people to get the first dose of the vaccine in the next few days from now till mid-July.
Stay-home notices for vaccinated travellers to Singapore could soon be a thing of the past, while those who have been inoculated for Covid-19 here may be able to travel abroad and gather in larger numbers in Singapore.
To allow more time for Singapore citizens aged 12 to 39 to make their vaccination appointments, the two-week priority window for this group will be extended by one week, till July 1.
From July 2, the vaccination programme will be extended to the rest of the population, including all permanent residents and long-term pass holders in Singapore aged 12 to 39.
