SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Singapore has detected a COVID-19 cluster in one its largest hospitals, among 16 new locally transmitted infections that were reported on Thursday, its highest number of domestic cases in seven months.<\/p>

Singapore has managed to contain its coronavirus outbreaks since a big contagion among migrant workers in dormitories last year. Most of its subsequent cases have been imported and found in quarantine.<\/p>\n

Eight of the cases announced late Thursday were linked to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the health ministry said. The hospital\u2019s cases include a doctor and a nurse who were vaccinated for the coronavirus. Both had symptoms.<\/p>\n

Authorities have isolated two wards in the hospital to test staff and patients, and increased quarantine and movement curbs after the cluster, which is the first in a Singapore hospital.<\/p>\n

Seven other local cases on Thursday were linked to an airport immigration officer.<\/p>\n

The city-state has reported more than 61,000 cases since the pandemic hit last year, the vast majority of those in dormitories housing low-wage foreign workers. It has recorded 30 deaths in total.<\/p>\n

The new cases comes as Singapore readies a travel bubble with Hong Kong that is set to launch in May after a suspension last year.<\/p>\n

Singapore has been rolling out vaccinations having approved shots from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.<\/p>\n

The health ministry said the vaccines are effective in preventing symptomatic disease for the vast majority of recipients, but some can still be infected despite being inoculated.<\/p>\n

Concerns have been growing over new variants of the virus and the effectiveness of existing vaccines.<\/p>\n
