As per reports, there have been a surge in Covid-19 cases in several Asian countries, including Singapore and Hong Kong, in recent weeks. As per health officials the rise in new cases may be due to a decline in overall immunity within the population and less number of elderly citizens receiving Covid booster doses.
Reportedly, Singapore has recorded around 14,200 cases as of May 3, which is significant 28% rise compared to last year. In a statement, the Singapore Ministry of Health stated, “There is no indication that the variants circulating locally are more transmissible or cause more severe disease compared to previously circulating variants.”
