Singapore reports 7,109 new Covid-19 cases; 23pc rise in community cases in past week driven by Omicron BA.4, BA.5 subvariants

SINGAPORE, June 22 — Singapore has seen a 23 per cent week-on-week increase in community infections of Covid-19, largely driven by the two Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, the Ministry of Health said yesterday .Along with 716 imported ones, there were a total of 7,109 daily cases.

The “surge in BA.4 and BA.5 cases is likely to continue, driven by their higher transmissibility compared to BA.2”, MoH said, but noted that evidence here and abroad has shown that the severity of the two subvariant's infections is similar to that of earlier Omicron strains. However, it noted that public hospitals “remain busy caring for non-Covid patients”, and many hospitals are experiencing high bed occupancies.

They will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, while the centre at Bishan will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech and Novavax vaccines.
