SINGAPORE: About 8,000 COVID-19 deaths were averted in the last five months of 2021 because of Singapore's public health measures and efforts to vaccinate a high proportion of the population, according to estimates from the Ministry of Health .
It said that Singapore has kept its COVID-19 death rate low, at 15.7 deaths per 100,000 of the population. The estimates of the health outcomes were derived from constructing an alternative scenario where the population was unvaccinated. MOH's simulation indicated that without vaccines, Singapore would have experienced more than double the number of COVID-19 cases.
