Today (6 June), Singapore reports the 25th death due to COVID-19, and unlike other deaths, the man had died while he has been discharged.
According to MOH, it is case 11714.
He was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on 22 April.
The 41-year-old male Chinese national had recovered from the infection, and was discharged on 17 May.
However, he collapsed on 4 June, and the Coroner has certified that the cause of death was massive pulmonary thromboembolism following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
A check online shows that pulmonary embolism (PE) is a “blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream.”
He’s the youngest person to have died from complications due to COVID-19 in Singapore.
Community Cases Today
As mentioned this afternoon, there are 7 community cases today.
Amongst the Singapore / Singapore PR cases, 1 is a family member of a previously confirmed case, and had already been quarantined earlier. Another is a cleaner at the preschool section of an international school, and was tested as part of MOH’s proactive screening of preschool staff.
Epidemiological investigations are ongoing for the last case, who works as a physiotherapist at Tampines Polyclinic but has not gone to work since onset of symptoms.
As for the 4 work permit holders, 3 were tested positive due to MOH’s proactive screening of workers in essential services, and 1 was tested positive as part of MOH’s screening of migrant workers deployed at public healthcare institutions.

A new place has been added in the list of places that infectious COVID-19 have been: it’s the NTUC FairPrice in Hougang Mall between 11:10am to 12pm on 30 May 2020.
Here’s the updated list:
There is no need to avoid these places. The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
However, as a precautionary measure, 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.
