SINGAPORE – Singapore is on track to further ease its Covid-19 measures this week, experts say, as more people are vaccinated and there are adequate healthcare resources to care for those with severe infection.
Dr Noel Yeo, chief operating officer for healthcare services network IHH Healthcare Singapore, said: “About 75 per cent of our total population has completed full vaccination, while the numbers of new daily cases and hospitalised cases, including patients requiring oxygen and intensive care, are on the decline.”
IHH Healthcare Singapore operates hospitals such as Mount Elizabeth and Gleneagles.
