SINGAPORE – More Covid-19 infections and a new coronavirus wave are expected amid an increase in year-end travel and as more people take part in the upcoming festivities, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Sunday (Dec 4).

"With Christmas coming, new year coming, people going out, bound to have more infections, but it's not something we've never seen before," said Mr Ong on the sidelines of a Chinese Development Assistance Council event held at Nanyang Junior College.

He also said that the Government will be monitoring developments overseas, including China's Covid-19 situation. "When China opens up more – it looks like they are shifting their policy. If they do so, there will bound to be more infections," he said. As for Singapore, Mr Ong said the country's direction"has been very clear" for the past year. Whenever it is possible for Singapore to open up, the country will do so further, he added.
