The Ministry of Health has asked public hospitals to maintain essential hospital beds. Along with this, suitable patients have been advised to be sent home through mobile in-patient care at home. It is Singapore's alternative inpatient model that gives patients the option of being admitted to their own homes rather than being admitted to hospital wards.

Health Minister Ong has urged people at risk of serious illness to get an extra dose of the Covid-19 vaccine if they have not received it in the past 12 months.
