Mr Ong added that similar setups are already adopted in other countries such as South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.Would it not be enough to just have NCID in Singapore to deal with future pandemics?

“Like it or not, we should organise in a way that the world organises so that we have counterparts to make interactions easier,” he added.
