Daily Covid-19 cases have risen to 5,700 as of July 4 from about 3,500 at the start of June. Ong said he expects more than 12,000 daily cases on Tuesday, which typically sees higher numbers due to the weekend.
Singapore is seeing indications that the Covid-19 wave of infections is near its peak, “if not at the peak”, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung told parliament Tuesday, July 5.
Authorities assess that the wave driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 omicron sub-variants will not be as severe as the omicron wave earlier this year, Ong said.
