SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 623 new cases of COVID-19 as of noon on Friday , bringing the total number of infections in the country to 5,050, said the Ministry of Health in its daily update.

A 95 year-old Singaporean has passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection on Friday, said MOH. Identified as case 3145, he was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on Apr 13. "We have to be prepared for future waves of infection and we have to steel ourselves for a long fight," he said in a Facebook post on Friday.

"So the teams are working doubly hard to sweep through the dorms and test the workers, and this is also the reason why we are seeing such high reported cases every day," he said in a Facebook post on Friday.
