SINGAPORE - Singapore residents should stay at home, going out only for essential services and wearing a reusable mask if they cannot avoid close contact with crowds.

A total of 1,114 infections have been reported to date, with five deaths. There were 65 new cases as of Friday, with 25 of the 473 hospitalised cases in intensive care. At present, the number of unlinked local cases make up nearly half of the total number of local cases. This suggests that there are undetected cases in the community, with more expected to emerge, said Mr Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministerial task force.

Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo, Education Minister Ong Ye Kung and Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee also spoke at the press conference, along with Ministry of Health director of medical services Kenneth Mak. The press conference followed a national address by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, during which he outlined even more stringent measures to curb rising the rising Covid-19 numbers.
