Despite that, 74 per cent of the respondents also say that they are still open to the idea of meeting someone who has not been vaccinated or is not willing to the vaccinated.
“There could also be valid reasons why someone may not be able to get vaccinated such as allergies,” explains Violet Lim, CEO and co-founder of Lunch Actually.
She also adds that singles “do not want this to hinder their chances of getting a match and writing them off immediately just based on their vaccination status”.
One 50-year-old respondent, identified only as SC, shares the same sentiments. She explains that while it’s “good to have” someone who is vaccinated, “it’s not a deal-breaker”.
“Profile, character, values and life stages are more important considerations than being vaccinated. However, everyone should comply with safety measures and precautions,” she says.
According to the Ministry of Health, as of June 7, over 2.5 million people have received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination while around 1.9 million have completed their full vaccination regimen. In total, about 4.4 million doses of the vaccine have been administered.
Additionally, as of Friday (June 11), first day that Singapore extended the vaccination programme to those between the ages of 12 and 39, group, 73,000 people in that age group have booked their vaccination appointments.
While looking for love in such tumultuous times can be interesting and somewhat thrilling, do remember that safety and health always comes first.
