SINGAPORE, Oct 10 (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore is entering a trying period in its fight against Covid-19, with daily cases expected to continue rising for some weeks, the healthcare system remaining under pressure, and the Delta virus variant slowed but not stopped.

But with each passing day, Singapore is getting stronger, more resilient, and more ready to live with the virus in its midst - and this "new normal" is anywhere from three to six months away, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Saturday (Oct 9).
