"But we must not let our guard down, as we are not out of the woods yet. A resurgence in cases is still possible," he said. In his speech, Lee thanked Singaporeans for their support and understanding during this period while they are going about their daily lives as"normally as possible." Lee noted this is not the first time Singapore is facing a public health emergency, as it has previously undergone SARS in 2003, and more recently H1N1, dengue and zika.
