Today (8 May) is the day where Singapore kickstarts its tighter COVID-19 measures in response to the pandemic.
Gathering limits of five, partial closure of indoor fitness centres, and crowd control in various public areas are some of the rules that bring us back to phase 2.
Folks who are treading cautiously and worried about the virus variants reported recently, how about placing your trust in robots to prepare your food? These are the places using robots as helping hands.
