More about COVID-19 cases
Several Asian countries, including Hong Kong and Singapore, reported a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. Health officials suggested this may be due to a decline in overall immunity and fewer elderly individuals receiving their booster doses.
China is also approaching a rise in coronavirus infections, and its cases are rising to the same as last summer`s peak. Thailand is yet another addition to the list following the Songkran Festival in April.
The Singapore Ministry of Health released a statement that read, “There is no indication that the variants circulating locally are more transmissible or cause more severe disease compared to previously circulating variants.”
Radio City wishes Shilpa Shirodkar a safe and speedy recovery.
