SINGAPORE, Sept 12 (Bloomberg): Singapore, faced with the imminent prospect of dealing with 2,000 daily Covid-19 cases from over 400 currently, says it’s sticking to the course of living with Covid-19 for now.

Rather than re-impose strict rules as cases surge, the island nation of about 5.7 million people will start its vaccine booster programme from Tuesday (Sept 14) for vulnerable groups like the elderly and immunocompromised.
