"Like all endemic diseases, we no longer have very granular data on COVID-19 infections," Mr Ong said, adding that the Ministry of Health continues to monitor the coronavirus closely through sampling patients  who display acute respiratory symptoms and testing wastewater samples for viral fragments.

While the estimated daily infections have gone up, the Health Minister said this is a small fraction of the 20,000 or more daily cases Singapore used to experience during the peak of the pandemic.

"Our assessment is that this week, the numbers have probably stabilised, may have even come down," he added.

Although the current wave is not severe, Mr Ong cautioned that the  additional caseloads do add to the heavy workload of the hospitals.

He urged people to do their part to keep themselves healthy and if they are unwell, to stay home and wear a mask.
