A third vaccine was approved recently; however, it is only approved for the private healthcare sector. If you’re wondering why is there a need for so many vaccines, today’s report will tell you why.
As of 12pm today (3 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 45 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
35 are community cases, of which 2 are unlinked. 22 of the community cases are from MINDSville@Napiri.
The remaining 10 are imported cases.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 62,145.
Based on yesterday’s figures, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from 165 cases in the week before to 126 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has also decreased from 30 cases in the week before to 27 cases in the past week.
