(Bloomberg) New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he will have an announcement next week on high schools, the last tranche of the public education system whose students are still in remote learning. Maine and Arizona will ease restrictions, and Oregon ordered a full return to classrooms.
Mayor Mike Duggan may have set up Detroit for trouble by telling the city’s residents that the Johnson & Johnson single shots aren’t as effective as double-dose versions. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy missed early opportunities to restrain the spread of Covid-19 in nursing and veterans homes, an infectious-disease physician and others told Republican lawmakers.
The Air Travel Bubbles (ATB) will play a key role in the safe opening of Singapore s borders this year, said Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung during the Committee of Supply (COS) debates on Friday (March 5).
According to Ong, he expects to see more countries prepared to forge ATBs with Singapore, as vaccinations bring down Covid-19 infection rates worldwide.
Recovery for the aviation sector
According to Ong, it is not realistic to expect a V-shape recovery for the aviation sector this year given that there continues to be much uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We may have a plan, but this virus has no plan. And it does not observe any rules. It is driven by an instinct to dominate the world. To do so, it is transmitted without symptoms, it is mutating, said Ong.

As part of the Singapore Government s sustainability plans, Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung has announced that there will be no new diesel cars and taxis from 2025. We will also have 8 EV-Ready towns by 2025.
Phasing out diesel engine vehicles
Mr Ong noted that vehicles in Singapore emit about 6.4 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - equivalent per year. By increasing the population of greener vehicles, only then will the total net carbon abatement be 1.5 to two million tonnes per year.
He is confident that Singapore is an ideal test-bed for rapid adoption of Electric Vehicles since we are a small city-state, and range anxiety isn t much of a concern. He added, We can be at the forefront of this technology, to advance this significant thrust of the Singapore Green Plan”.
