However, OYK has also pointed out that the majority of people who contracted the virus in 2021 have not been vaccinated.

by then it will be so endemic that it becomes ordinary like flu
OYK also did mention that the recent ICU cases were not vaccinated. However, I am not sure whether this information has been updated.

Those were honest mistakes, let's move on.
"When will it happen? I really can't say," Mr Wong said, in response to a reporter's question on when the virus will be considered endemic here.
"I can't even predict what's going to happen next month," he replied. "So I don't know that it's so easy to tell you what's going to happen years down the road because the situation is really very uncertain."
Hopefully his boss will know more and say more on Monday.

SINGAPORE — While there are signs that the community spread of COVID-19 is coming under control, it is "very unlikely" that Singapore will immediately revert to Phase 3 of its re-opening when Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) ends on 13 June, said Finance Minister Lawrence Wong on Monday (31 May).
"We will have to do this gradually...so there is some chance of relaxation, but in a controlled and calibrated manner," said Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry taskforce on COVID-19.
Addressing reporters at a virtual press conference, Wong noted that the situation remains highly fluid, in response to a question on whether there might be another spike in COVID-19 cases.
"If we monitor over time and we see new risks emerging, new clusters emerging, more unlinked cases which we are not able to track down and pin down, then it may suggest that this is continuing, a little bit more than we are comfortable with, and therefore we may have to take additional restrictions or precautions and safeguards, based on the data," he added.
Earlier, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung noted that the number of community cases in the past 14 days – one full infection cycle – has fallen. By dividing the past 14 days into two halves, the first seven days (17-23 May) saw 182 cases, followed by 136 cases in the next seven days.
In addition, the percentage of unlinked cases has also fallen from 22 per cent of all cases to 18 per cent.
One key method for controlling and monitoring infections is testing, Ong said. In the second half of May, on average, more than 55,000 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Antigen Rapid Test (ART) tests were conducted each day, according to Ong.
"All in all, we are nudging in the right direction, but just nudging, and controlling the situation," said Ong.
'Very unlikely' to resume Phase 3 straight after 13 June: Lawrence Wong

More extensive and faster testing; quicker and more comprehensive contact tracing; and faster rollout of our vaccination programme - these are the key strategies that will enable us to keep everyone safe in this Covid-19 environment, as PM Lee shared in his broadcast today.
We will continue to press ahead with these strategies. Bookings for vaccination will be made available for students. After that, around mid-June, we will open bookings for young adults 39 years and younger. We will give the Singaporeans in this age group a two week priority window to book their appointments before we open up generally to the rest.
Meanwhile we remain in “Heightened Alert”, and we seek everyone’s cooperation to comply with the measures. We have done well so far. But this is not the time to relax or let our guard down. Do continue to stay home and work from home, and minimise your daily contacts. If we all continue to do that, we will be able to bring community cases down further and bring the outbreak under control.

More help will be coming your way soon. Eligible Singaporeans will receive up to $500 cash in GST Vouchers paid out in two tranches from June and July. Singaporean households in HDB flats will also get up to $200 in utilities rebates, and up to 1 month in S&CC rebates in July. We hope this will provide some immediate relief during this period of uncertainty.

The Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong has said there will be ample supplies in Singapore during Malaysia's two-week lockdown.
Malaysia will be going on a lockdown from June 1 to 14, leaving Singaporean citizens concerned about the supply of food and other essential items coming from its neighbour.
But Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong said the Singapore and Malaysian governments are working togehther to ensure a continued flow of imports.
"We are working with Malaysia to ensure the continued flow of essential supplies between our two countries," Gan said at a multi-ministry task force press briefing.
He advised Singaporeans to buy only what they need in the coming days.
Active COVID-19 cases in Malaysia breached 70,000 by the end of May, with daily cases exceeding 8,000 people.
The June 1 to 14 lockdown is only the first phase of Malaysia's efforts to curb the spread of the deadly pandemic, to be followed by a month-long "Phase Two" that will allow for the reopening of a few economic sectors.
