Good that they allow 1 week's lead time for restaurants and F&Bs to prepare for dine in after 14 June, else it will be chaos on Monday. 

Honestly yours willing to be the first few at the table upon opening up for dining?

Do they even wash the cutleries before serving?

Home cook food can be better than restaurants during festive season set dinner.

Those set dinner during Valentine's day, mother's day  etc.... all are pre-prepared and some time not good.

Home cook are all fresh prepared. 

Don't those one off take away food always taste better than the home cook?🤔

Nevermind ...don't bother to answer.

CNA - Cap of 5 people for social gatherings from Jun 14 as COVID-19 cases fall; dining-in may resume on Jun 21

Meanwhile, the day after on June 15th 2021, vaccination front runner Israel starts abolishing indoor face masks...

ST - Israel to lift indoors face mask wearing rule as Covid-19 cases fall

JERUSALEM (XINHUA) - The rules to enforce wearing face masks indoors in Israel will be lifted starting June 15, Israel's Health Minister Yuli Edelstein announced on Sunday (June 6).

Israel has already lifted the obligation to wear a face mask outdoors since April 18, following the decline in Covid-19 infections in the country.

Mr Edelstein said that, if there is no unexpected increase in infections in the coming days, the restriction will soon be completely cancelled.

But most restrictions related to travel abroad have not been lifted yet, such as a ban on travelling to nine countries, quarantine obligation for passengers arriving from these countries, and coronavirus tests obligation for all arriving passengers.

On face masks, looks like Singapore proceeds at a slower pace,...sorry, I mean, in a more calibrated pace. 😀

ST - Singapore sets sights on a pathway out of the current Covid-19 crisis

After more than a year fighting Covid-19, most accept that the virus is here to stay and that cases will surface from time to time.

As more people here get vaccinated, the risk of a spike in cases will go down, as those who have been vaccinated will act as a firebreak, containing its spread.

"We continue to make good progress in our vaccination efforts, and we are well on our way to giving 50 per cent of our population the first dose," said Mr Gan.

Mr Ong said the vaccination roll-out has accelerated, and close to 50,000 arms are now jabbed daily. Already, three in four people aged 45 years and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

By August, half the population should be fully vaccinated, and by October, 75 per cent.

Last year, this would have been more than enough to provide herd immunity for the nation, to ensure protection against major surges in infections.

But as new variants emerge that are more easily transmissible, the proportion of the population that needs to be vaccinated goes up.

Nevertheless, with 75 per cent of the population fully vaccinated, and hopefully more people in line for the vaccine, the pandemic should then be pretty much under control in Singapore.

When that happens, said Mr Wong, "we will ease our restrictions and gradually restore our normal lives, both within Singapore and at our borders".

"Then we will move to phase three, and even beyond phase three to a new normal phase of living with endemic Covid."

If infections remain low, if those infected do not become severely ill, and better treatment is discovered, Singapore would hopefully have seen its last Covid-19 death.

So there you have it guys - by October 2021 we should be on our way to an increasingly "normal" way of living.

OK, all these variants are categorized as Covid-19 virus. with WHO's help, now everyone knows 'Alpha' refers to UK variant, 'Delta' refers to India,..etc. But did they forget to assign a Greek letter for the original Ah gong type? Do we revert back to calling it Wuhan virus?  😁

Call 甲?

Respecting place of origin.

The question is how can the vaccination last?

Do we need booster shot or need vaccination every year. So far no data.
