Singapore Daily Covid Infections Rise to Highest Since March

According to the Ministry of Health's website, Singapore reported its highest number of Covid-19 infections in more than three months.

There were 11,504 new Covid-19 cases in the city state. Since March 22, when 13,166 Covid-19 cases were reported, the number of infections has doubled.

According to data from the Health Ministry, there were 437 patients hospitalized, with nine in intensive care and 36 requiring oxygen support.

While Singapore is in a "relative stable position" for Covid-19, people should not let their guard down, according to the Health Minister. The local surge is being driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron sub-variants.

The Straits Times reported on Monday that Lawrence Wong, the deputy prime minister, said the government can't rule out tighter Covid-19 restrictions again as it faces a resurgence in cases.

More than three in four people in Singapore have had a Covid booster. According to health ministry data, the number of patients with the virus has risen over the past week. The first death caused by the Covid-19 virus in a patient under the age of 12 was that of a one-and-a-half year old toddler on Monday.
