MOH added that there are 71 confirmed Omicron cases detected in Singapore to date, with 65 imported cases and six local cases.

Said the ministry: “Given its high transmissibility and spread to many parts of the world, we should expect to find more Omicron cases at our borders and also within our community.

“It is important for everyone to continue to play their part and remain vigilant to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and to come forward to receive your vaccination or booster dose when offered.”

Two deaths reported on Monday take Singapore’s Covid-19 death toll to 815. MOH did not provide more details on the fatalities.

The total number of cases here now stands at 276,105.
