The nationwide shutdown in Singapore will start from next Tuesday i.e, on April 7. In his announcement, Singapore PM said that most workplaces, except for essential services and key economic sectors will be closed. In a series of tweets, the Singapore Government announced that local cases in Singapore have risen. "Despite contact tracing, half of the cases unlinked. New clusters in foreign worker dorms, nursing homes have come up. We need to apply a circuit breaker now for 1 month to reduce the risk of big outbreak."
