On May 13, the Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed 675 new cases of Covid-19 infection, bringing it to a total of 25,346.
Highest number of discharged cases in a day
A total of 958 Covid-19 patients were also discharged on the same day, making it the highest number of discharged cases in a single day.
In total, 4,809 have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospitals or community care facilities.
Roll back measures
Just a day ago (May 12), Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said at a press conference that the government is hoping to "roll back more measures" on June 1, 2020 "if all goes well".
So far, the circuit breaker measures "have shown promise in reducing Covid-19 infections locally in the community," he said.
As of May 12, some circuit breaker measures have been progressively lifted, like the resumption of operations for hairdressers and traditional Chinese medicine halls, for example.
However, Gan emphasised that Singapore must not be "lulled into complacency or let our guard down" as circuit breaker measures are gradually relaxed.
