Government pauses reopening plans after Delta outbreak leads to 837 new infections
Singapore has reported its highest one-day Covid case total in more than a year, despite 81% of the entire population being fully vaccinated. Excluding children under 12, it is 90% of the population.
The 837 cases recorded on Tuesday was the highest total in Singapore’s new Delta-driven outbreak so far. In response to the growing outbreak, the government has paused reopening plans and reimposed some restrictions.
