Amid a rise in Covid 19 cases in Singapore, demand for test kits has jumped, with some shops running out of stock. Healthcare and beauty retailer Watsons said there has been a surge of over 150 percent in the demand for COVID-19 test kits in the past week. They doubled the price when the demand was high and they were out of stock. Singapore is experiencing a COVID-19 wave, with a recent doubling of cases week-on-week.
The report said that the estimated number of COVID-19 infections in the week of May 5 to 11 rose to 25,900 – a 90 percent increase compared with the 13,700 cases in the week before that. The average daily COVID-19 hospitalizations also increased to about 250 from 181 the week before, said the Health Ministry on Saturday. The average daily cases in intensive care remained low at three cases compared to two cases in the previous week.
It was learned that currently, two-thirds of Singapore’s cases are caused by the KPI and KP2 strain of the virus.
