Some nations inch toward reopening; global death toll from COVID-19 surpasses 200,000; Singapore reports a surge in cases with 931 new infections
Five of the new cases were in Heilongjiang province, a northeastern border area with Russia that has seen a surge in infections. Singapore reported 931 new cases to take its total to 13,624. In the first half of April that rate slowed to an average of 9.5 per cent daily growth, or doubling about every eight days. And the days since have averaged increases of less than 5 per cent daily, or a doubling time of around two weeks. The last time the province’s health units reported fewer than 450 new cases in a day was April 12.
