25,900 new Covid-19 cases in S'pore from May 5-11, MOH tracking closely Stay vigilant. Hannah Martens Covid-19 cases rose to 25,900 in Singapore during the week of May 5 to 11, 2024, compared to 13,700 cases in the previous week. The average daily Covid-19 hospitalisations rose from 181 to 250, while the daily average Intensive Care Unit cases remained low at three cases. The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release on May 18 that it is closely tracking the recent rise in Covid-19 infections in Singapore. "While there is no indication that the circulating variants are more transmissible or cause more severe disease compared to previous variants, immunity in population has likely waned over time," said MOH. MOH urged the public to stay updated with the Covid-19 vaccines to protect themselves against current and emerging virus strains and exercise personal and social responsibility to minimise transmission. Vaccination recommended MOH shared that about 80 per cent of the local population had completed their initial or additional dose but had not received a dose within the last year. "This indicates that immunity in the population is likely to have waned," said MOH. "The protection against Covid-19 outweighs the risk from Covid-19 vaccination, and we urge individuals to keep updated with their Covid-19 vaccination."
