Omicron variant causing high levels of concern across Singapore

In response to the new Covid-19 variant, Omicron, entry requirements into Singapore have been tightened, with all travellers required to take ART tests daily over seven days. Currently known to increase risk of re-infection, this variant has sparked concern all over the world, with countries similarly tightening border measures to curb widespread infection.

Concern levels of the Omicron variant are high, with 87% of respondents indicating that they are very or somewhat concerned. More than half (56%) of respondents think that current measures are just right, and a smaller group (26%) think that current measures are somewhat or far too lax to tackle the new variant, with a skew towards 35-44 year olds (35%)
