CORONAVIRUS | With the addition of today's 1,111 new Covid-19 cases, S'pore has the largest number of coronavirus cases in Asean at 9,152.
| Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today announced that the country’s strict "circuit breaker" measures to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic will be extended by four more weeks until June 1, 2020.
“Unfortunately that number has not come down and this suggests there is a larger, hidden reservoir of cases in the community, that is the source of these unlinked cases, which we have not detected,” he said.Lee acknowledged that in the wider community, the circuit breaker is starting to have an effect as the number of community cases has fallen in recent days.
Thus, to achieve these objectives, Lee said that “we must all hunker down and press on with our tight circuit breaker measures.” The majority of the new cases were work permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories while 20 cases were Singaporeans/ Permanent Residents.
