[FULL] S’pore’s daily Covid-19 cases to hit 1,000 before situation stabilises | MTF press conference

Watch the full address on Friday (Sept 17) by Singapore’s multi-ministry task force on Covid-19. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Friday (Sept 17) that with the number of daily Covid-19 cases doubling every week, Singapore is likely to see 1,000 daily cases soon. This is not unexpected, Mr Ong said at a press conference by the multi-ministry taskforce on Covid-19. He added that every country that has decided to live with the virus will sooner or later have to undergo a “major wave of transmission“, just as Singapore is doing now. However, Associate Professor Kenneth Mak, director of medical services, noted that the number of serious cases is not rising in sync with the overall number of cases. Mr Ong also announced the expansion of the home recovery programme to include eligible Covid-19 patients aged 12 to 69 from Saturday. Previously, only those aged up to 50 were eligible. #covid19 #ongyekung SUBSCRIBE ➤ -------------------- WEBSITE ➤ TWITTER ➤ h
