increase in the number of cases

Post by tamguatlay »

With the continued increase in cases linked to the KTV cluster in Singapore, Multi-Ministry Task Force co-chair Lawrence Wong announced that they have been considering additional measures in light of the “disappointing and frustrating” turn of events.

Should it be "increase im the number of cases" instead?

Thanks!
