The Ministry of Health (MOH) has made early confirmation of 78 new Covid-19 cases today (8 Aug). This brings the national tally to 65,764.
Among them are:
Of the 73 local infections, 21 cases are currently unlinked.
Meanwhile, all 5 imported cases were detected upon arrival. MOH will release more updates on the local Covid-19 situation tonight.
Yesterday, Singapore reported 81 new Covid-19 cases, comprising 75 locally transmitted infections and 6 imported.
Here’s how these figures compare to the daily community Covid-19 figures reported in the last 30 days.
Amongst the 75 local cases, authorities detected 50 who were already quarantined and another 9 through surveillance. The remaining 16 are unlinked.
Here are other highlights from the update:
As of 6 Aug, 68% of Singapore’s population – or 3,744,802 individuals – have been fully vaccinated.
A total of 7,971,889 doses of Covid-19 vaccines have been administered, with 4,351,541 people – or 79% of the population – having received at least 1 dose.
In the meantime, 129,787 doses of Sinovac vaccines have been administered so far to 81,555 people.
With the first milestone of having two-thirds of the population fully vaccinated achieved, Singapore looks well on track to reach a vaccination rate of 70% by 9 Aug.
Bear in mind that you’ll have to wait for 14 days after your second dose to be considered fully vaccinated.
As Singapore gradually relaxes Covid-19 restrictions for fully vaccinated individuals from 10 Aug, let’s continue to do our part as socially responsible citizens.
