Singapore's government is easing some of the tight social curbs it imposed to contain the spread of Covid-19, after infections stabilised in the city-state over the past month.

From Monday, limits on social interactions and dining out will be expanded to five people from the current rule of up to two vaccinated people, government ministers told a news conference.

They said the overall infection numbers and hospital situation have largely stabilised and improved.
