The Ministry of Health (MOH) says the jump landed in a short burst—most of the new infections were found within a few hours on Wednesday afternoon.

The MOH is treating it as an anomaly and will keep a close eye over the next few days to see if it starts running again.

The 10 new deaths, each due to Covid complications, bring Singapore’s Covid death count to 349. While most had underlying health conditions, one of the victims was unvaccinated – a plot twist that reminds us we’re still fighting an unpredictable foe.
