Singapore again reported a daily record of Covid-19 cases in

the country, the highest for the past year, since August 5,
2020. On Thursday (9/9/2021), there were 450 new local
cases recorded by the Ministry of Health of Singapore
(MOH).
This figure is up from Wednesday's record (8/9/2021), 347
cases. Even though this figure also broke the record on
Tuesday (7/9/2021), where there were 332 new local
transmissions recorded.
"There are 450 local cases of Covid-19 today. Among today's
local cases, there are 108 elderly people over 60 years old,"
MOH said in a statement.

In detail, there are 11 clusters of cases that are closely

monitored. These are the Hu Lee Impex cluster, Sembcorp
Marine Tuas Boulevard Yard, Changi General Hospital, Bugis
Junction, the Toah Payoh Bus staff exchange cluster, Tampine

"We are closely monitoring a number of clusters that have

been restricted (human movement) through tracing, testing
and isolation." MOH said again.

Yesterday, MOH also reported a new case of death involving

a 62-year-old woman. He has been infected since September 6
and has not been vaccinated and has a history of cancer and
bronchiolysis.

The trend in Singapore's cases has continued to increase since

August 23. Singapore itself has confirmed the entry of the
Delta variant in the country.

Citing Worldometers, in total there are 2,770 active cases in

Singapore at present with seven serious cases. Since Covid-19
emerged, there have been a total of 70,039 residents infected
with 57 deaths.

Meanwhile, the Singapore government admitted that it would

change the focus of reporting Covid-19 cases amid an
increase in cases that occurred again. The authorities will
direct the report to the capacity of the country's hospitals.

Bloomberg wrote, this was done to direct the management of

Covid-19 as endemic. In epidemiology, an infection is said to
be endemic in a population when it persists for a long period
of time.

Earlier in its press conference, the Singapore government did

believe that there would be an exponential increase in cases in the
country. Singapore Covid-19 Task Force Chair Lawrence Wong

said Singapore could have 1000 cases per day in the next two
weeks or maybe 2000 per day in the next month.
