[Singapore] I live in Pasir Ris, a small town that’s near the seaside, One can see Pulau Ubin, an island off eastern Singapore, just across the water. As Singapore tries to pivot from COVID-Zero, Bloomberg reported that Singapore is loosening measures in a controlled way while comparing to other places like Australia and New Zealand that are largely locked down as they try to reduce transmission in populations that aren’t highly vaccinated And not to mention Indonesia has been a global epicenter of the pandemic, as COVID has surged through a largely unvaccinated population, Malaysia is also enduring a sharp rise in cases—so much so that it helped undermine support for the country’s former prime minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, who resigned last week. As I also read in the Fortune, Singapore’s caution may seem counterproductive, slowing its economic recovery and further frustrating a population eager to get off their island. But it is likely to pay off in the long run and may even hold lessons for other Asian countries searching for a way out of lockdown. Reopening successfully is not an event but a process—and one that shows you can stay open as the crisis morphs. 📍Singapore. 🇸🇬 #singapore #hellofrom #createexplore #sonysingapore #sonyalphasg #sgphotocommunity #moodygrams #depthobsessed #covid19 #fatalframes #letsexploresg #rawurbanshots #exploresingapore #nature_obsession #visualambassadors #reflecting_perfection #ilovesingapore #singaporelife #singaporecity #instasingapore #singaporeinsiders #singaporeig #sgphotography #visualgrams #tslfeatures #instasg #365challenge

Amid the pandemic, I’ve realized that your health is the epicenter of your life. Your body relies on good health for it to function well. Health is made up of four essential parts; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. All four layers of your life are equally important in your life. As my birthday is coming up, I have only one wish: good health to myself and everyone else. #birthdaywishes #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #thegaypassport #taiwan

🦠🌏😷 Southeast Asia is being slammed by a spike in Covid-19 as the Delta variant sweeps through the region. Indonesia has overtaken India to become Asia's new pandemic epicenter. Thailand is also suffering its worst outbreak of the pandemic. Vietnam has tightened restrictions as Covid-19 clusters spread there. Meanwhile, as infection surges in Myanmar, many suffering symptoms are choosing to remain at home because they don't trust military-run hospitals. Malaysia has set new records in daily coronavirus deaths even as it ramps up its vaccination program and pandemic curbs. Even Singapore is being slammed by the virus as infections emerge from an outbreak linked to karaoke bars and a fishery port. Here's the latest on the virus as it surges across Southeast Asia. 🙏🏽 @jadynbsham @sarita555 @yoonjung__seo @therealjakekwon
