Singapore insists that it is ready to coexist with Covid-19. Indonesia has not been able to imitate it.

Suar.ID – In some reports it is stated, Singapore decided to live side by side with Covid-19.
There are several things that make this small neighboring country dare to make this decision.
Even so, that doesn’t mean what Singapore can be applied by other countries.
Including Indonesia–which is very much different from Singapore.
At least these are some of the things that make Singapore dare to live side by side with Covid-19.
Incessant vaccinations
Singapore is one of the countries that has stepped up targeted vaccinations: two-thirds of citizens receive the first dose by August 9, 2021.
As of June 27 yesterday, according to a Kompas.com report, 80,000 Singaporeans were vaccinated every day.
In addition, Singaporeans are also planned to be vaccinated regularly from year to year.
Thus, international flights are targeted to be able to operate again.
The key is in the mask
Singapore’s Minister of Health, Ong Ye Kung, said masks remain one of the most effective ways to prevent Covid-19.
He continued, the revocation of the obligation to use masks will be the last to be evaluated in the new normal era.
Massive tracking
International Medical Clinic Singapore’s medical director, Dr Lim Hui Ling, said there was a Trace Together application to track who a Covid-19 patient was in contact with.
This app was first introduced in March 2020, and it should be used when Singaporeans visit important places.
Like shops, hospitals, even when taking a taxi.

Travel bubble with countries that have successfully handled Covid-19
One of Singapore’s first steps to coexist with Covid-19 was to launch a travel bubble with a number of countries that managed to control Covid-19.
Among them are Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea.
In this way, foreign workers such as domestic helpers and construction workers are expected to be able to return to Singapore.
Singapore is doing so, as sectors of the economy that rely heavily on foreign workers are currently overwhelmed by labor shortages.
Hospitals focus on treating severe Covid-19 patients
In addition, there is a rule that Singaporeans who are exposed to Covid-19 but with mild symptoms do not need to be hospitalized.
Apart from that, there are two other important things that make Singapore dare to live side by side with Covid-19.
First is policy lockdown successful partial.
Now Singapore is undergoing a transition to new normal after unplugging lockdown partial, which was implemented from May 16 to June 13.
Since it first experienced a spike, spread Covid-19 can be directly controlled by policy lockdown that partial.
And the number of infection cases is decreasing little by little.
Other than that, Singapore also experienced in dealing with SARS.
For your information, the SARS outbreak a few years ago has provided valuable lessons for citizens Singapore.
Especially when it comes to handling cases Covid-19.
Again, what to do by Singapore not necessarily applicable in other countries, including Indonesia.
Especially with the handle model Covid-19 which is still as ugly as it is now.
