THREE NEW CLUSTERS

Three new COVID-19 clusters were identified, including a cluster of four cases linked to Superland pre-school at Kreta Ayer Community Centre. MOH did not provide details on the other two new clusters.

Two more infections were linked to the cluster at Jurong Fishery Port/Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, bringing the size of the cluster to 1,151 cases. It remains the largest active cluster in Singapore.

Eight more cases were linked to the cluster at Westlite Juniper Dormitory, taking it to 47 infections.

There were 118 active clusters in Singapore as of Wednesday.

Overall, the number of new cases in the community has decreased to 448 cases in the past week from 758 cases in the week before, said MOH.

The number of unlinked cases in the community also decreased to 129 cases in the past week from 227 cases in the week before.

EIGHT IN CRITICAL CONDITION

A total of 508 cases were warded in hospital. There were eight cases in critical condition in the intensive care unit and 35 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation.

Of the 43 cases, seven were fully vaccinated. Those who have fallen very ill included 36 people above the age of 60, of whom 29 were partially vaccinated or completely not vaccinated.

"There is continuing evidence that almost all fully-vaccinated individuals do not suffer serious disease when infected, unless if they had underlying medical conditions that made them more susceptible," said MOH.

Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated local cases who became severely ill or died was 8.7 per cent, while that for the fully vaccinated was 0.9 per cent.

72 PER CENT OF POPULATION FULLY VACCINATED

More than 8.1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered under the national vaccination programme, with 3,936,162 people having completed the full vaccination regimen as of Tuesday.

In addition, 138,879 doses of other vaccines recognised in the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing have been administered as of Tuesday, covering 82,406 people.

In total, about 72 per cent of Singapore's population has completed their full regimen or received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, while 81 per cent has received at least one dose.
