"There is bound to be more infections but it is not something we have not seen before. This year alone, we have already seen three infection waves," he said.
Ong added at an event held at Nanyang Junior College on Sunday that it is more important to monitor developments overseas and watch if a new variant of concern emerges when winter hits the northern hemisphere, Xinhua news agency reported.
Singapore reported 1,052 new cases of Covid-19 on Saturday, bringing the total tally to 2,171,550.
