SINGAPORE - About 18 per cent of all community cases of Covid-19 detected in recent weeks are of the new EG.5 Omicron subvariant, the Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.
It added that the number of Covid-19 cases in hospital or the intensive care unit has remained stable.“According to the WHO , currently available evidence does not suggest that EG.5 has contributed to any significant increase in cases, disease severity, or deaths as compared to other circulating strains,” the ministry said.
Nicknamed Eris by netizens, EG.5 has become the dominant Covid-19 strain in the United States, according to the country’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. It was first detected overseas in February and has since been reported in at least 51 countries, MOH said, with the WHO designating EG.5 and its subgroup EG.5.1 as a “variant under monitoring” on July 19.An earlier version of our report said the Covid-19 cases in hospital or in intensive care were stable. This is incorrect. It is the number of Covid-19 cases in hospital or the intensive care unit that has remained stable. We are sorry for the error.
