Yesterday (29 Aug), Singapore reported 180 new Covid-19 cases. These comprised 177 locally transmitted infections and 3 imported.
Based on the graph below, yesterday’s total of community cases was the highest it has ever been in the last 30 days.
90 cases were unlinked. Meanwhile, 33 were detected through surveillance, and another 54 had already been quarantined.
Here’s a summary of the rest of the Covid-19 updates:
There are currently 68 active clusters.
As of 31 Aug, 80% of Singapore’s population – an estimated 4,328,804 people – has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
Meanwhile, MOH has administered a total of 8,722,819 doses of Covid-19 vaccines, covering 4,515,469 individuals. 83% of the population has received at least 1 dose.
Additionally, 167,898 doses of other WHO-approved vaccines have been administered to 85,786 people so far.
Singapore’s Covid-19 case numbers are seeing a rising trend again after the detection of clusters at Bugis Junction, dormitories, and bus interchanges.
Even though we have one of the highest vaccination rates globally, we mustn’t let our guard down. History has taught us that it only takes a brief moment of complacency for cases to spread like wildfire again.
Now that we are free to head out and dine in again let’s remain vigilant. Follow Covid-19 rules, and practise good personal hygiene.
More importantly, seek medical attention right away when you’re not feeling well.
