Singapore Watching Rise in COVID-19 Cases

Singapore's health agency is watching a rise in COVID-19 cases.

There are COVID-19 waves throughout the year. The new variants are not more serious than the old ones.

There were 12,700 COVID-19 cases from May 10 to May 16.

The number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 went up from 56 to 73 per day.

Hospitals can handle the rise in cases. The rise might be due to people's immunity going down.

The main COVID-19 variant in Singapore is the NB.1.8.1 variant.

The current vaccine still works against this variant.

The last update on COVID-19 was in May 2025, when cases also rose.

In 2025, COVID-19 cases went up by 28% in one week.

Hospital cases went up by 30% in the same week.

Older people and those who are sick should get vaccinated. They should get another dose one year after their last dose.

Health workers and people who live with sick individuals should also get vaccinated.

Vaccines are available at clinics and hospitals.

People should be careful and follow the rules.

They should wash their hands and cover their mouths when coughing.

People should stay home when they are sick and wear a mask if they have symptoms.
