the second phase of its reopening- small gatherings of up to five people will be allowed people will be allowed to go back to restaurants and also to shop at retail outlets does this mean that this is the end of t the p pandemic. in your country. no it's not t the end f the panandemic. but i would say today is a very special day and people are very happy becauause it marks that the that that almomost all of. our ecoconomic actitivities resumume peoplple e going to work people arere g gog getting opporortunity to meet friends to dinee. mmhmhm so it's you'll see a lot of small faces on the street more hapappy faces but it's n n thehe end of the pandemic in f fact. re o openin. is a time that you need to be even more vigilant i mean ifif you l look at what's happening many other plalaces in thehe wo. this is precisely the momenent where you let your guard d down. we will get subsesequent weeksk. so we spepent the last two monts

prepingg for this. in the last seven oror more memedical facililities and especially stepping up the e been the t. to test and skill tesest quickly. also in few of contact tracing. because whwhat happens i is thaf you get any. resurgence anyway be able to identify early going quickly. down make sure it does not become a superclususter. states that titime. i would say thisis. on pototter people by ao it of great adventure and some things i on part of it keys. gonna keeping a very clolose al. obviously your country had over forty one thousand- cases- clearly- you went. after the virus by- massive testing are you planning to step up- testing in this. very delicate phase as youou just described i. no absolututely in fact-- we

intend before the end of the year two reacheded abilityty to pass forty thousand a a day inn fact if you look at out testing rates in singapore i think on a per capita basisis we e along te highest in the world.. it is this combination off meteticulos quick and d testing at scacale d contacact traracing which is the only way to o prevent thihis vis on having a strongng resurgence. the ultimimate solutution is a vaccine but at this point in timeme you know it's anybody's guess it couldld take a year eighteen mononths or even longe. but you have to resume a lifife you have to go bacac to someme sensee of normalcy but it'll be a new w mobile. . and i expect s new norormal process for at leat a a year or longer. right obviously you mentor a contact tree you know their debebates including in in your country about privacy- you've decided- essentially to be very aggressiveve when it comes to- a contact stresses should

tracing. is there a risk of for- privacy because you want to know exactly who is meeting home but- up to what point can you go. well l first off all the aree our excepeptional turns in normal times i don't think any population would countenancece cocontact tracing at scale. so that's the first p point t thiss an e emergency this is a crcris. secondly the way we have done it. is to avoid the two extremes waiaits a a completely decentralized and autonomous systemem on one hanand. versussa cocompletely centralizized systm where the goverernment knows everyonene's interactions in our se it'ss a a hybrid. i in fact that data r resides in a persons act our device i it never leaves that person's possessssion unles and until.. in the unlikely event thatt he's diagnosese to e at that t point. is that t datan

uploaded in order to identify close contactcts so that they cn be worn deacon x. testingng don. and in turn we c can have a second round of contatact tracig in a senense you have to go off the context of conontext it was not possibible in the past. when you didn't havave sufufficient testining facilities andnd you don't h have sophisisticated contact racacing. but with ththe two limbs available. you can now get back to o some semblance ofof a normal l life and still e with the v virus and deaeal aggressivevely by me. so it's about getting thehe balance. riright i. . sign f fine. allens response for privacy us purvis young hand and putut. of on the other hand and every societyty will h have a lead o on. dependn national. the on n you know he- depends on the strength of your social compact and trust within your society. i want to get a now to- the consequences-

clearly- singapore has been a triaial- hop sorry for trades- trade is a big part of your- economy- clearly- the consequences will be drastic. are you concerned- that- this might be even n worse than the pandemic. we're verery concerne. this is not just a public health disaster. this has been thee b biggest economimic slowdi think for all of usus in our lie turn. so therere's no question that this iss a major major disruption even in the casase of singapore we estimatate that our economyy will bebe affected by somewhere between minus falk miminus seven percent. this w wl be the worst recession thatt wewe've evever facaced. if you k in tererms of the government's respsponse in particular the fiscal response you know wewe've puput almost an extra hundrdred billllion singagapore dollars. o
