~54% of total population fully vaccinated
On the vaccination front, Singapore has administered 7,192,180 jabs to 4,242,505 individuals.

Authorities to review P2HA measures in early August
Speaking in Parliament on Monday (26 Jul), Multi-Ministry Task Force (MTF) co-chair Lawrence Wong said they will reviewing the Phase 2 Heightened Alert (P2HA) measures in early August.
Only Fully Vaccinated People Can Work Out At Gyms Or Dine In When P2HA Is Eased
While it remains unclear what this entails, any easing of measures would only benefit full-vaccinated individuals.
This may include dining in, working out at gyms, or attending large-scale events.
Come early September, Mr Wong says Singapore can look forward to having 80% of its population fully vaccinated.
This will reportedly allow the authorities to further ease Covid-19 measures and even reopen our borders.
Get vaccinated ASAP
With the easing of P2HA measures on the cards in the coming weeks, we hope those who have not been vaccinated would be incentivised to do so ASAP.
As more residents get vaccinated, the authorities will not only have greater confidence in easing domestic measures but also opening our borders.
The Covid-19 pandemic has already taken a significant toll on all our lives. The sooner we get ourselves vaccinated, the faster we can live with the virus and resume our normal lives.
