All of them had underlying health conditions.

Health Minister, Ong Ye Kung, said that the recent tightening of restrictions seemed to be helping to keep the Covid-19 transmission wave down, and that the infection numbers are no longer doubling every week.

He added that he has been feeling anxious on Tuesday as usually case numbers on Monday will be reported and there is always a spike after the weekends.

However seeing the numbers today, he is glad that the cases did not spike.

The total case count in Singapore now stands at 132,205 and the death toll is at 183.
