The distribution has been introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong final month.
The particular authorities have declared that they do not expect the current COVID-19 wave to be because severe as the Omicron wave earlier in the year, due to stronger immunity gained either through booster shots or even recovery from bacterial infections.
