Singapore

OF THE 56 new local Covid-19 cases in Singapore on Wednesday, 42 are linked to the growing KTV cluster, with more expected to surface.

Asked whether the cluster would affect the relaxation of Covid-19 measures that kicked in on Monday, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said that the multi-ministry taskforce had thought long and hard about it, but decided that given the high vaccination rate, "we are in a much more resilient position than before".
