“Any medical institution, including nursing homes, must be prepared for a new outbreak of COVID-19, which is expected in July-August,” warned the head of the department, On Ye Kong.
He added that the priority task of the country is to prevent a repetition of the situation that happened during the last wave of the spread of the Omicron strain.
In early January, the country's first death of a patient with an omicron strain of coronavirus was recorded in Singapore.
Earlier, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a downward trend in the incidence of COVID-19 in the world.
