While the number of cases is climbing, there is no evidence that the current strains cause more severe illnesses.
About three in 10 of the current cases are reinfections; higher than the 20-25% seen during the last wave, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said.
The number of hospitalised Covid-19 patients, up from 80 to 220 over the past month, is also far below what was seen during the crisis period. ICU admissions have also remained stable and low, with fewer than 10 Covid-19 patients at any one time over the past month, Ong said. Ong said that while the current wave is not a severe wave, the additional caseloads do add to the heavy workload of the hospitals.
