(Reuters)SINGAPORE: Singapore has fully inoculated 80% of its 5.7 million people against Covid-19, the health minister said on Sunday, becoming the world's most vaccinated country and setting the stage for further easing of curbs. "We have crossed another milestone, where 80% of our population has received their full regimen of two doses," Ong Ye Kung said in a Facebook post. That gives the tiny city-state the world's highest rate of complete vaccinations, according to a Reuters tracker that reports just 9.5% of people in Thailand have been fully inoculated. Authorities in Singapore have said they will further ease Covid-19 restrictions after hitting the 80% milestone.
