Singapore faces a new COVID-19 wave with a staggering 25,900 cases in just one week. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung advises precautionary measures as infections rise rapidly.

Singapore is currently grappling with a fresh wave of COVID-19 infections, alarming authorities and residents alike. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung announced the concerning rise in cases, with over 25,900 recorded in just a week. This surge has prompted the reintroduction of a mask mandate by the health ministry amid the sudden increase in infections. Public hospitals have been instructed to transfer suitable patients to transitional or home care facilities in a bid to manage the escalating situation.

The majority of COVID-19 cases in Singapore are now identified as the KP.1 and KP.2 strains of the virus, comprising over two-thirds of the current infections. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as the numbers continue to climb, nearly doubling week-on-week. With the Ministry of Health (MOH) on high alert, efforts are underway to contain the spread and prevent further escalation of the crisis.

It's crucial for the public to adhere to safety protocols and vaccination recommendations to curb the spread of the virus. As the nation faces this challenging period, collective efforts and individual responsibility play a vital role in combating the virus effectively. Stay informed, stay safe, and prioritize your health and well-being during these uncertain times.

In a significant development, the MOH reported a staggering 25,900 new COVID-19 cases in Singapore from May 5 to 11 alone, underscoring the severity of the current wave. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung's advice on wearing masks and other precautionary measures remains crucial as the nation battles to contain the outbreak.
