Earlier today (28 Sept), we got to know that there were 2 community cases reported in Singapore—not a goody number given that the average is fewer than 1 a day.
It turns out that one has been infected by the other as they’re close contacts.
The other, who’s currently unlinked, was working in Changi Airport when he was tested positive.

New COVID-19 Community Case on 28 Sept Has Gone to Work in Changi Airport
The unlinked case, a 26-year-old Malaysia who holds a work pass, was tested as part of MOH’s proactive screening of workers in essential services who are living outside the dormitories.
His close contact lives with him, and when the close contact was contacted by MOH, he has already developed symptoms and was immediately conveyed to a hospital for a swab.
Currently, on average, the number of new cases in the community has continued to remain stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has also remained stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.
As for the 6 imported reported today, they comprise 5 pass holders and 1 PR. One of pass holders is 1 year old another is 3 years old.
No New Places Added to MOH’s List
There isn’t any new place added, so here’s the latest list:
As usual, people who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit. They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history.

There is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been. The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
Individuals may access the SafeEntry Location Matching Self-Check service via the TraceTogether App, SingPass Mobile, or at https://wereyouthere.safeentry.gov.sg to check whether they were at these locations during the specified timings, based on their own SafeEntry records.
If you’ve not downloaded the TraceTogether app, now is a good time to download it. You might want to watch this video about the app, too (and also subscribe to our YouTube channel for more informative videos!):
