SINGAPORE Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is experiencing a Covid-19 “rebound”, after showing a negative result on Sunday and returning to work on Monday.

“I feel fine but I am afraid I have turned Covid-19 positive again,” he said on his official Facebook page, which he appended his positive result from a Covid-19 test kit.

The prime minister noted that his “doctors say it is a Covid rebound, which happens in 5-10% of cases”.

“It is still infectious although the risk is not high compared to the initial infection. The doctors have advised me to self-isolate until I test ART (Antigen Rapid Test) negative,” he added.

Lee, 71, had tested positive for the coronavirus for the first time on May 22 since the outbreak hit the Island-city shore in 2020. – Bernama, June 1, 2023.
