SINGAPORE -- Singapore will beef up its coronavirus testing and vaccination strategy, hoping to shield itself from the threat of virus variants that are hitting its Asian neighbors.
The city-state on Monday reported 23 new COVID-19 cases, seven of them imported. This bucks the worsening trends in neighbors such as Malaysia, which logged a record 9,020 cases on Saturday, and Vietnam, which has also seen new highs in the hundreds. More infectious strains are believed to be fueling the outbreaks.
