Public hospital bed crunch due to rising Covid-19 infections

Public hospitals in Singapore are urging people with mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19 to visit a GP clinic or polyclinic. These clinics will refer the patients to an emergency department (ED) or to a specialist for outpatient care, if needed. The call comes as Covid-19 infections and hospitalisation numbers increase, putting a strain on hospitals here.
