On Monday, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised against travel to a dozen countries because of high rates of coronavirus infection, one of which was Singapore. Why is SG getting labelled with such a bad rep, in spite of the heavy lockdowns we’re still experiencing?

But is it too early to be judging the product, even before it’s made?
