Singapore said on Friday it will tighten COVID-19 curbs to limit social gatherings to two people and make working from home a default, in a bid to contain a spike in infections and reduce pressure on the healthcare system.

Despite a rapid vaccination drive, the city-state has been seeing more than 1000 daily cases this week, including 1504 on Thursday, the highest number since the start of the pandemic.

With 82 percent of the population fully vaccinated, about 98 percent of the coronavirus cases in the past four weeks had no or mild symptoms, it said in a report a day earlier.
