Singapore should be able to tide over the current wave of Covid-19 infections without tightening restrictions, said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday (July 10).

He noted that hospitals are still holding up as cases start to peak. The recent surge in infections has been mainly driven by the newer Omicron subvariants known as BA.4 and BA.5.

"It's another reminder to all of us that the pandemic is not over. We all have to continue to take precautions and keep safe." He said he was very pleased to see more Singaporeans able to perform the haj pilgrimage this year, especially after having to defer it for two years due to the pandemic. He added:"It is relevant to all of us in Singapore, as we grapple with the challenges of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Covid-19 and higher prices.

"If we all display that same spirit of solidarity and looking out for one another, we will be able to get through the challenges ahead," he added. He noted the tremendous sacrifice made by those working in hospitals, checkpoints, recovery facilities and dormitories.
