Road potholes have appeared across Singapore after heavy rain in the last several weeks, raising concern among motorists and cyclists alike.

Separately, a study published in The Lancet journal has found that three out of four patients still suffered from at least one symptom six months after falling sick with Covid-19, with the most common problem being fatigue or muscle weakness.
