State of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Singapore

As of February 2, 2022, Singapore had registered more than 362 thousand confirmed cases of COVID-19. Despite having an 88 percent COVID-19 vaccination rate, the country has been going through a surge in COVID-19 infections now caused by the highly-contagious Omicron variant. This has led to delays in its plans to reopen the country for a 'return to normal'.

Gradual return to normalcy?

Due to the current increase in COVID-19 infections, Singapore has pushed back plans to remove the restrictions imposed to control the pandemic, with the Prime Minister estimating that it would be another three to six months before the 'new normal' could begin. This was to prevent the healthcare system from being overstressed. While vaccination rates remain high, hospitalization rates have increased, with the majority of those hospitalized being unvaccinated.

Singapore is currently one out of more than 200 countries and territories battling the novel coronavirus. For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
