Singapore is now seeing a third wave of imported Covid-19 cases, with more than 100 such cases confirmed in the past month.
These make up about 15.5 per cent of the total number of imported cases here since the start of the outbreak in January.
As of Tuesday, a total of 688 imported cases of Covid-19 had been confirmed in Singapore.
The number of daily imported cases had earlier dropped to zero as travel restrictions tightened here and around the world.
But on June 15, the multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19 here announced that more long-term pass holders would be able to return to Singapore during phase two of the country’s reopening, which began on June 19.
On June 30, the Republic saw its first imported case in more than two weeks.
Another 106 cases followed up until Tuesday, and they were imported from nine different countries, with more than half – 62 cases – coming from India.
India has seen a rapid rise in Covid-19 infections, with more than 1.5 million confirmed cases, and nearly 35,000 fatalities.
