Singapores Healthcare Crisis, Hospitals Struggle Amid Surge in Covid-19 Cases

Hospitals in Singapore have been struggling since the end of November. COVID-19 cases in Singapore have increased by 32,035 since November 26. This is the highest number of infections this year, which was 28,410 infections per week in March. Due to the increasing number of patients, the need for intensive care is also increasing. In the coming weeks, the need for intensive care is expected to increase further. This increase is thought to be caused by the high level of mobility of the community and the decreased immunity of the community. In response to this, the government urges the public to always carry out health protocols such as wearing masks and maintaining a healthy body. In conclusion, the increase in COVID-19 cases in Singapore has overwhelmed hospitals.
