Singapore’s omicron wave has “clearly peaked” and is fast subsiding, health minister Ong Ye Kung said Friday, highlighting a development that could pave the way for further easing of Covid curbs in the city-state.

“The number hospitalised due to COVID-19 is falling gradually, with a lag compared to the fall in daily cases,” Ong said in a Facebook post.
