SINGAPORE, July 19 (Reuters): Singapore on Monday saw new local coronavirus cases almost double from the previous day to 163, the highest daily tally in 11 months, driven by clusters of infections linked to a fishery port and karaoke bars.

The rising cases has prompted the city-state to tighten some restrictions on social gatherings from Monday, just a week after easing them.
