COVID Cases Spike Across Asia Again
A new wave of COVID-19 is sweeping across Asia. Hong Kong and Singapore are experiencing sharp increases in cases, prompting health alerts.
Health officials say COVID-19 activity in Hong Kong is "quite high." As of May 3, 31 severe cases and a rise in deaths have been reported.
Singapore Sees 28% Weekly Rise
Singapore's COVID-19 cases jumped by 28% in just one week, reaching approximately 14,200 cases by May 3, according to its health ministry.
Experts suggest declining population immunity, relaxed restrictions, and limited booster uptake may be behind the current COVID spike.

Health officials in Hong Kong and Singapore are monitoring hospital loads and urging precautions. The wave may spread to other Asian nations, making vigilance and preparedness essential.
Stay Safe During the Surge
Wear masks in crowded places, keep your vaccines up-to-date, wash your hands often, and avoid large indoor gatherings to stay protected and reduce the spread.
With COVID-19 on the rise again, stay updated, be alert, and not alarmed.
