Singapore authorities reported Wednesday that the country recorded 596 cases of Covid-19 in 24 hours, bringing the total number of infected people to 6,588. Therefore, Singapore officially overtook Indonesia to become the country with the most Covid-19 people in Southeast Asia.
Of the nearly 600 new cases, only 25 are Singaporeans or permanent residents, the rest are mostly migrant workers, the Singapore Ministry of Health said.
Since the end of March, the number of people with Covid-19 in Singapore has started to increase and is mainly related to migrant workers living in crowded and crowded dormitories. This makes the effort to prevent Singapore’s epidemic even more difficult. The Singapore Ministry of Health says one of its current challenges in fighting epidemics is the difficulty of tracking patient contact and identifying the source of infection.
The Singapore government has issued many regulations, such as the mandatory use of masks when leaving, the implementation of social distance, the implementation of the blockade of a part of the country and the injection of billions of dollars into the economy.
In a comment on his Facebook account on April 18, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the next few days were crucial to the Lion nation’s Covid-19 epidemic battle. “The next few days will be very important. We must all fulfill our responsibilities to repel Covid-19,” said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
