Singapore recorded 328 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, the highest daily number of new infections in more than a year, Reuters quotes the health ministry as saying.

The city-state has been reporting more than 100 domestic cases daily over the past two weeks.

Singapore had fully vaccinated 80 per cent of its population against Covid-19 by the end of August, one of the highest rates in the world, reaching a threshold for the city-state to further ease its restrictions.
