A few days ago the number of daily casualties exceeded 5 thousand. This is the highest number of daily infections reported there since the onset of the corona crisis. Consequently, corona restrictions there are expected to be tightened again.


Deputy minister Janil puducherry has said that the government is focusing on high vaccination rates and booster vaccinations to control the spread of the disease.

He also said that the singapore Ministry of health was working on strategies to boost and strengthen the natural immunity of those affected by mild viral infections.

The 'Covid-19' death rate in singapore is 0.2 per cent. Pointing out that the mortality rate in other parts of the world was 3 per cent before vaccination, minister Janil Puducheary said the death rate in singapore was very low compared to them.

Pointing out that the number of infected people was low due to the measures taken by the singapore government, the minister said that the number of deaths was low due to proper medical care and the government confirmed this.


The government has raised awareness among Singaporeans about the corona infection. people have realized that we are living with Covid-19.


Despite this, Deputy minister Janil noted that the country's borders could not be opened normally, pointing out that doing so would increase the risk of infection.


“As the number of infections increases, so does the number of beds used in intensive care units in hospitals.


Until recently only a small number of people were provided with the best medical care by ensuring that they were not infected. Thus the death toll was very low.


"Even if you are currently living with the corona, protecting people through vaccination and safety management measures will continue. However, this is not complete protection. That is why more people are likely to be affected in the coming days.


As the epidemic escalates, so do corona deaths, which, despite good medical care, can kill 2,000 people a year.


Noting that the situation will not last until the end and that the time will come to get rid of it, he pointed out that it is necessary to keep the death toll as low as possible until the situation stabilizes.
