(Reuters) – Singapore’s health ministry reported 1,650 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, the highest since the beginning of the pandemic.
A recent rise in cases after the relaxation of some coronavirus measures has prompted Singapore to pause further reopening. More than 80% of its population has been vaccinated against the virus.
