Singapore
Singapore’s first case of COVID-19 was discovered on 23 January 2020, the day after the first quarantine measures were introduced for travelers returning from China. By early March, Singapore appeared to have slowed the spread of the disease through a strategy of quarantining and contract tracing. But in late March the country saw a second wave of infections, with confirmed cases rising to over 5,900 by mid April. On 3 April, Singapore announced a full lock-down, which will stay in effect until 4 May.
