Post-Circuit Breaker Essentials: Items you need for your return to life outside

Singapore’s “lockdown” measures will be eased soon with many places beginning to open from June 2. Eventually, we’ll be able to meet people again too but it’s important not to get complacent.

To get you prepared, we’ve rounded up a list of post-circuit breaker essentials that every Singaporean will need for the “new normal” way of life.

Finally, we can see the light at the end of the Circuit Breaker tunnel. As of June 2, we can start heading out again. Although we’re restricted to our workplaces or schools and relatives’ homes, it’s a fresh taste of freedom in almost two months for most of us. But before we start flexing our ‘fits and traveling around the city again, we need to make sure we’re ready. And that means stocking up on our post-circuit breaker essentials.

What goes into the post-circuit breaker essentials, you ask? Simply items that’ll keep us safe while feeling and looking good at the same time. This includes sanitizers, creams, bags, and more! Check out our full list of post-circuit breaker essentials below.
