Singapore has not been spared.
In the fortnight till May 26, it has seen between 19 and 38 new community cases diagnosed each day - compared with the one to 16 cases a day in the previous fortnight - in spite of tighter safety measures.
To some, this evokes memories of the days leading up to the circuit breaker last year, when case numbers were rising.
But there are key differences. Singapore may be battling more infectious variants of the virus this time around, but it appears to have a firmer grip on the situation.
The number of new community cases is currently lower than the roughly 40-60 in early April last year, just before the circuit breaker was implemented.
