SINGAPORE’s health authorities are monitoring a rise in COVID-19 cases, with reported infections increasing to 14,200 in early May, up from 11,100 the previous week. While daily hospitalizations have also risen, intensive care unit cases have decreased, indicating that hospitals can manage the surge. Authorities expect periodic waves of COVID-19, attributing the rise to factors like waning immunity, and they recommend vaccinations for at-risk individuals, including those 60 and older and healthcare workers, while encouraging the public to maintain health precautions.
