Surge in daily Covid-19 cases driven by Omicron variant BA.2.75: MOH

There has been a 35 per cent to 40 per cent week-on-week increase in daily Covid-19 cases.
This translates to 900 to 1,000 more infections every day, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Friday (Sept 30).
But there is no indication that the increase in cases has led to more severe diseases, and there has been "no significant impact" on the healthcare system.
MOH said the proportion of reinfections has increased from about 6 per cent of all reported cases from the beginning of this month to about 10 per cent this week.
There is also an increase in infections by the Omicron variant BA.2.75, which account for about a quarter of all daily infections.
