SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): There is no need to tighten safe management measures for now but this cannot be ruled out as more Covid-19 infections are reported, said Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Stressing the need for vigilance and testing, he announced that all households will receive 10 ART test kits. Distribution will begin sometime next month. Speaking to reporters after touring a mobile vaccination centre at Nee Soon Central, Wong said that the uptick in the number of infections is driven by the newer BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants.
