SINGAPORE - The Covid-19 weekly infection growth rate rose slightly to 0.83 on Saturday (Nov 6), up from 0.81 on Friday.
This is the fourth day in a row that it has dropped below one since the Ministry of Health (MOH) started reporting the figure.
The infection rate refers to the ratio of community cases in the past week over the week before.
A weekly infection growth rate that is more than one shows that the number of new weekly Covid-19 cases is still increasing.
The overall utilisation rate of the intensive care unit (ICU) also increased on Saturday, at 72.8 per cent - up from 68.6 per cent on Friday, said MOH.
Twelve people aged between 60 and 98 have died of complications linked to Covid-19.

The new deaths take Singapore's death toll to 480.
