While the downward trend of new COVID-19 cases in Singapore has been broken today (it was 9, 5 then 3), all the four new cases reported today are linked to previously confirmed cases, so it’s still goody news.
In addition, there are 5 more people who are discharged, which means 29 people have since recovered.
Everything’s looking goody so far; no wonder Harvard praises Singapore on how well we detect new cases.
Here are the details for today’s cases.
4 New COVID-19 Cases in S’pore Today; All Linked to Previously Confirmed Cases
There are 4 new cases today, and 3 of them are linked to the Grace Assembly of God Church cluster, which is currently the largest cluster now that is linked to 21 cases.
That’s almost a quarter of all the confirmed cases here in Singapore.

The first patient is a 57-year-old Singaporean who had her symptoms on 9 February 2020, and visited two GPs on 10 February and 17 February 2020. Yesterday, she was sent to NCID and tested positive for the virus.
The second patient is a 38-year-old Singaporean who’s linked to a confirmed case that comes from the Grace Assembly of God Church cluster. She works in NUH in an administrative role but has not interacted with any patients since the onset of her symptoms. She is now isolated in NUH.
The third patient is a 50-year-old Singaporean who’s also linked to the Grace Assembly of God Church cluster, and was tested positive this morning.
The last patient, who’s not linked to the Grace Assembly of God Church cluster, is a 35-year-old Malaysian who works in Singapore. She has been served a Quarantine Order since 15 February 2020 as she’s a close contact with a confirmed case. The lady is tested positive yesterday afternoon.
That means in total, there are 81 confirmed cases.
More Than One Quarter of Patients Have Recovered
Out of the 81 patients, 29 of them have fully recovered and are discharged. 4 of them are in ICU while the condition of the remaining 48 patients are either stable or improving.
And here’s one super goody news: remember the one-year-old boy that was announced yesterday? He’s discharged today; which means he’s been warded for mere two days or so. You go, little one!
As of noon today, MOH has found 2,486 close contacts; 1,160 of them are now under quarantine while 1,326 of them are out of quarantine.
