S

ingapore's health ministry reported 3,703 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, the highest since the beginning of the pandemic, while it recorded 11 new deaths from the disease.

The fatalities are five men and six women aged between 56 and 90. Four of them were unvaccinated against COVID-19, three were partially vaccinated and four were fully vaccinated, CNA reported.

Ten of them had various underlying medical conditions, while one partially unvaccinated case had no known medical conditions.

The 56-year-old patient who died was partially vaccinated and had multiple underlying medical conditions, said the ministry of health.

This takes Singapore's death toll from the coronavirus to 153.

A recent spike in infections after the relaxation of some restrictions has prompted Singapore to pause further reopening. It also tightened curbs from last week that limited social gatherings to two people and made work from home a default.

More than 80 percent of Singapore's population has been vaccinated against the virus.
