Singapore’s daily tally of coronavirus cases rose to the highest in two weeks, just as authorities eased up on restrictions on groups of people dining at food outlets from Monday as part of a phased easing of restrictions linked to rising vaccination rates.
Eight new coronavirus cases were detected locally with five linked to existing infections, the Health Ministry said. This is the highest since June 27 when 12 cases were found in Singapore.
