    SINGAPORE'S "circuit breaker" measures can be effective in slowing down Covid-19 infections over time if taken seriously, as they did in other countries which adopted similarly stringent moves after a surge in new cases, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday.

    Singapore reported another death linked to Covid-19 and 198 new cases on Friday, taking the total number of cases to 2,108.
