Karaoke lounges have become Singapore s latest virus cluster, making up for a majority of the 56 cases the country recorded on Wednesday.
The figure is the highest daily total Singapore has seen in 10 months,
Some 41 cases have been linked to these lounges, which typically see hostesses interact with customers.
The lounges were closed months ago as part of lockdown measures, but several obtained licenses to operate as food and beverage outlets instead.
The latest cluster comes as Singapore gradually eases virus restrictions - allowing people to meet in larger groups and rolling back some dining restrictions.
