“But we hope that over the next seven months, Singaporeans will use the vouchers to rediscover Singapore, to explore what our hotels, attractions and tours have to offer, and in the process, support jobs, livelihoods and skills in our tourism industry. “.
As of Tuesday, Singapore has reported 58,183 COVID-19 cases and 28 deaths from the disease.
