For the past two weeks, Singapore has consistently recorded two or fewer Covid-19 infections within its local community each day and for the past week, the average number of daily cases among foreign workers housed in mega-dormitories has fallen to below 20.
This is a sharp dip compared with just five months ago, when the combined daily toll was as high as 1,426.
The latest official figures show that almost 99 per cent of close to 58,000 cases have been reported as recovered, with just 31 individuals remaining in hospitals and 275 with milder symptoms isolated at community facilities.
On Monday, Singapore reported 15 new cases, just two of which were considered community transmissions. Meanwhile, countries in Europe are battling with a resurgence of cases while Malaysia has imposed strict movement restrictions in some areas of Sabah state amid a growing outbreak.
