SINGAPORE — Even as Singaporeans look forward to the Chinese New Year festivities this year, they should exercise restraint to avoid the risk of having to go back into another circuit breaker, which could be needed if a few dozen clusters break out, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Wednesday (Jan 27).

For instance, individuals should refrain from making multiple visits in big groups, as doing so would increase the danger of super spreader events occurring, he said.
