There has been a significant rise in COVID-19 infections in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Sat (Dec 2).

The number of estimated COVID-19 infections doubled to 22,094 in the week of Nov 19 to 25, compared with 10,726 in the previous week.

EG.5 and its sub-lineage HK.3 remain the predominant subvariants in Singapore, accounting for more than 70 per cent of the cases sequenced.

"Currently, there is no indication that the predominant subvariants are more transmissible or cause more severe disease compared to other circulating variants," MOH said.
