Friday's update was the first time that the ministry started including cases detected by ARTs.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung had announced earlier on Friday at a press conference that MOH will also no longer be differentiating between Omicron and non-Omicron cases. "Over the past few weeks, we have been living with Covid-19 and the Omicron variant quite carefully and calmly, with a less restricted posture, where we can meet in groups of five... The fact is that with vaccinations working well and the Omicron variant being less severe, the top-line infection number is becoming less and less meaningful in our response to Covid-19," he added.
There were 360 patients in hospital, with 19 requiring oxygen supplementation and 13 in the intensive care unit.Ninety-one per cent of Singapore's eligible population have completed the full vaccination regimen, and 54 per cent of the population have received a booster shot.
