SINGAPOREANS should expect a new wave of Covid-19 infections with more people travelling and due to the year-end festivities, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

“With more travel and with Christmas and the New Year coming and people going out, there are bound to be more infections, but it is not something we have never seen before,” Ong said.
