Covid-19 cases have once again started increasing rapidly in many Asian countries. The list includes many countries from Singapore to Hong Kong, where the highest number of cases have been reported this year.
New Delhi:
A new wave of COVID-19 is sweeping across parts of Southeast Asia, with countries like Hong Kong and Singapore experiencing a sudden spike in cases. China and Thailand are also witnessing a rise in infections. Notably, Singapore has seen a 28% surge in cases over the past year, with 14,200 reported as of May 3.
According to Bloomberg, this resurgence appears to be linked to a fresh wave of the virus spreading across Asia. In China, cases are nearing last summer’s peak, while Thailand has seen an uptick following the April Songkran Festival. As the situation unfolds, it’s essential to take extra precautions to stay safe.
Covid-19 cases increase in Singapore
Let us tell you that the main variants in Singapore at present are LF.7 and NB.1.8. Both these variants of Covid-19 are related to the JN.1 strain. According to health officials, together they are responsible for more than two-thirds of all infected cases.
Who is at risk of COVID-19?
Mostly people with weak immunity are getting infected with Covid-19. People who have health problems are at an increased risk of getting infected. According to doctors, the weakening immune system in this season can be the reason for this. In such a situation, people in Singapore are being asked to take booster doses.
Symptoms of the new COVID-19 are like normal flu
Singapore’s health ministry has said that population immunity is waning, but there is no sign that the current variants are spreading faster or causing more severe disease than variants seen earlier in the pandemic. Doctors are treating this new wave of COVID-19 as a normal flu. Most people are recovering quickly and without complications, CNA reports.
