Singapore's health ministry confirms 486 new coronavirus cases

Singapore’s health ministry confirmed 486 new coronavirus cases, taking the country's tally of infections to 23,822, Reuters reports.

The health ministry said the number of cases, the lowest in a week, were partly distorted by fewer tests being processed as one of its laboratories was recalibrating apparatus after 33 false positives were identified.
