SINGAPORE-Singapore's health ministry reported 1,012 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, the highest since April last year.

The recent rise in cases after relaxation of some COVID-19 measures has prompted Singapore to pause on further reopening. More than 80 percent of its population have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Of the new cases, 919 were in the community, 90 in migrant worker dormitories and three were imported cases, said the Ministry of Health in a news release. The total number of cases stands at 77,804.

The ministry also announced on Sunday that it is setting up new community care facilities that will provide clinical care to COVID-19 patients who are stable, have mild symptoms and/or are generally clinically well but have underlying conditions that require closer monitoring.

This move is expected to augment Singapore's hospital capacity, so that only those who actually need close and specialized medical attention, such as oxygen supplementation and intensive care, receive their medical care in hospitals.

Singapore's ICU capacity is still holding up, but the hospitals' accident and emergency departments and general wards are coming under pressure, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Singapore's primary schools will shift to home based learning for 10 days ahead of a key national examination, according to the education ministry on Saturday.

Primary 6 students will go on a study break for a few days from Sept 25 before sitting for the national examination to minimize risk of school based transmissions and reduce the number of students placed in quarantine.

The country is looking at vaccinating children under the age of 12 early next year.

NZ slightly easing curbs

Down south from Singapore, New Zealand on Monday slightly eased coronavirus curbs in its largest city of Auckland, as the government expressed confidence that there was no widespread regional transmission of the Delta variant.

But tough restrictions will continue even after midnight on Tuesday, when the alert level drops to 3 from 4 in the city of about 1.7 million at the center of the latest Delta outbreak.

Schools and offices must still be kept closed, with businesses limited to offering only contactless services.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said residents must still keep to their own "bubbles", no visits to friends or neighbors, or let children play together.
