Singapore's COVID-19 cases peak, no need for additional measures: Health Minister
Singapore has possibly peaked, and there is no need for additional measures, like wearing a face mask mandate, to be implemented, said Minister for Health (MOH) Ong Ye Kung. “We might have a slight surge, but I think more or less, we are seeing the peak of this wave," Channel News Asia quoted Ong as saying on Friday at the soft opening of a health campus at Woodlands in northern Singapore. However, having about 600 to 700 hospital beds taken up by COVID-19 patients is quite a strain on the system, the minister noted.
