This is the 12th consecutive day the weekly infection rate has dipped below one.



The rate refers to the ratio of community cases for the past week over the week
before. A rate of more than one indicates the number of new weekly Covid-19
cases is increasing.

Six deaths were reported on Sunday, down from 10 on Saturday.



There were 32 patients in the intensive care unit, and 181 required oxygen
supplementation.

Of the local cases, 8,326 were detected through antigen rapid tests (ARTs),
which means they were assessed by a doctor to have mild symptoms and be of low
risk.

Another 1,271 cases were detected through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.



There were 104 new imported cases, of which 47 were detected through PCR tests
and 57 through ARTs.




As at Sunday, Singapore has recorded a total of 939,436 Covid-19 cases and 1,145
deaths.

About 95 per cent of the eligible population in Singapore have completed their
full vaccination regimen, and 70 per cent of the total population have received
their booster shot.
