2. Go to Singapore for vacation

It is safe to say that it is very unsafe to go to Singapore in November 2021. Because the number of confirmed cases in Singapore is increasing by leaps and bounds every day, and Singapore’s medical care is actually very weak and almost overwhelmed. If you go in November, the risk is particularly high. Singapore has been doing very well since the COVID-19 outbreak last year. Until this year, the number of confirmed cases rose rapidly after being tricked into entering the country by the West. This actually proves that China and the United States’ defense measures are correct and must be strictly guarded against.
