Mr Wong added that Singapore's approach to the latest restrictions is a much more targeted one.

For instance, the capacity limit for large events involving only fully vaccinated people remains unchanged at 1,000 attendees.

This is because such events pose a lower risk, and have not resulted in large transmission clusters, he said.

"We do not expect numbers to come down at all. In fact, they will continue to rise," Mr Wong noted.

"But hopefully at a slower rate than before, so that we can ride through this wave without overwhelming our healthcare system."


But even after the current wave of infections is past, Singapore is likely to see case numbers stabilise at a higher level than what the country has been used to so far.

"In other words, we are not going back to a scenario of low daily cases any more," Mr Wong added.

"It's not going to be possible because we are moving forward, to learn to live with the virus, and we are continuing with our reopening plans."
