Corona: Covid-19 cases are increasing again in Asia. Relevant sources say that cases are increasing significantly, especially in Hong Kong and Singapore. It is said that the positivity rate in Hong Kong has reached its highest this year. At the same time, the number of cases in Singapore also seems to have increased by 28 percent. However, it is somewhat comforting to note that the currently spreading corona variants are not that dangerous. Cases are also increasing in China and Thailand.
The news that Corona is coming back is now causing great fear in the world once again. Recently, a large number of new cases have been registered in two Asian countries. It is once again reminding the fears of Corona. Officials there have revealed that there has been a sudden increase in the number of Covid cases in Hong Kong and Singapore. Health officials there have warned that cases are increasing significantly in Hong Kong and Singapore, which have a high population density. At the same time, it seems that Corona cases are also increasing in Thailand and China.
The Hong Kong Center for Health Protection has revealed to the media that the spread of the Covid virus in Hong Kong is very high. It was said that the highest number of Covid positive cases were recorded in the recent Corona tests conducted in Hong Kong in the year. As of May 3, the data shows that the number of cases and deaths reached a maximum of 31 this year. Although this increase is low compared to the peak cases recorded in the last 2 years. The increase in hospital admissions with Covid-related symptoms is a cause for concern.
Singapore has also been on alert with the increase in Covid cases. After almost a year, Singapore’s Ministry of Health released a report on the number of Covid cases this month. It is reported that the number of positive cases has reached 14,200, an increase of 28 percent from the estimated number of cases as of May 3. The number of people admitted to hospital daily has also increased by almost 30 percent.
Health experts believe that the increase in corona cases may be due to several reasons, including a decline in immunity among the people. At the same time, there is some relief. The currently circulating corona variants are not more contagious than previous Covid variants, Singapore’s Ministry of Health has said.
The governments of these countries are becoming alert due to the increase in corona cases in key countries in Asia. Health authorities are issuing orders to make corona vaccines available to the public. Those who are at high risk of contracting the virus are advised to take booster shots. Viruses that usually spread more in winter cause serious problems. However, it is said that the virus has not spread as much during the current summer season.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong singer Eason Chan has tested positive for the coronavirus, forcing him to cancel his concerts in Kuching, Taiwan, this weekend. According to data from the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of cases in China is likely to peak this year compared to last summer. The Covid positivity rate among those admitted to hospitals in China has doubled in the five weeks ending May 4. Thailand’s Department of Disease Control has reported two new Covid cases this year, the highest since the start of the pandemic. The number of cases is rising after a festival across Thailand in April.
