The only scenario I can think of that makes sense where you'd need quarantine centers for 250,000 people is if you're going to practically let everyone enter / travel "freely" with the exception that if you test positive (so testing will continue, although the methodology for testing is still unsure, maybe a mandatory test every X days) you must quarantine.
I guess one other scenario that "could" make sense is if you plan on being much more loose about sending people to quarantine (i.e.: "you were within 10km of a confirmed case, you must go to quarantine")

That doesn't sound like letting it rip, if they were going to do that there would be no reason for a facility. It sounds like they're going to try to continue the game of testing and isolating those that test positive.

Perhaps they are going to drop the quarantine but that's not the same thing as doing nothing.

From my post a few days ago about letting it rip until now there has been a lot of change, definitely backtracking on the opening up and instead cracking down harder in the battle between Xi Jinpings China against the deadly Covid virus.
Based on the way this is going Id advise anyone to avoid coming here in the near future until we see who wins out, ideology or nature. The risk of getting stuck or locked down is increasing day by day and I pushed up a trip to Southeast Asia by a few days in hopes of avoiding being stuck here.

Meanwhile, you're hard pressed to find any accomodation in Singapore.
Guess the PAP really should send a "Thank you" letter to Beijing.

BEIJING!
I am THAT far out of the city center, we don't usually get the most harsh Covid measures.....just today, however,
our apartment building has started checking for the health code (first time in months and months), and the health code
is now checked at work by "snow men" not the usual security guards.
If they're taking these measures out here,...well, it don't look to rosy!

The main reason I go to ATMs is to move money from one bank account to another. The cash, aside from whatever I decide to tip the gaurd(s), doesn't actually leave the ATM booth, but I do physically hold it for about thirty seconds.
