Singapore’s daily tally of locally-transmitted Covid-19 cases rose to the highest since Aug. 5, after 59 infections were discovered linked to a dormitory for foreign workers in the north of the island.
A total of 94 new locally-transmitted cases were found as of 12pm on Monday, the Ministry of Health said in a statement on its website. Singapore had eased some restrictions, mostly for fully vaccinated people, since Aug. 10, and had been recording a daily local transmission number around 30 for the past few days.
