NDP 2020 Mobile Column

The National Day Parade (NDP) 2020 Mobile Column will be decentralised. It will be interesting to see them up close and how this will be done given the COVID situation. 

"This year’s Mobile Column will feature 66 assets from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Singapore Police Force (SPF), with each route comprising about 13 vehicles and 60 to 70 participants" according to the NDP website. Looks like it will not be as massive as the NDP2019 mobile column give the COVID-19 situation but should still give it a go. 

The only question is: how they will balance safe distancing on the streets while ensuring good turnout by Singaporeans so to not "waste" this effort. As of now, I am not able to get the exact route of the mobile columns, not sure if this is (1) bad planning by the NDP committee or (2) deliberate so as to limit people camping out to get a good lookout spot. In either case, not sharing such information may result in unexpected disruptions.
