COVID-19 Updates Singapore (29 Feb): 4 New Cases With All from the Same Cluster

The number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in Singapore has finally hit three-digit after today’s announcement.

However, the good news is that all four new cases announced today are all linked to the newly identified cluster announced yesterday; an eLearning solutions company called Wizlearn Technologies that’s located at Science Park Road.

That makes the cluster one of the larger clusters in Singapore so far, with eight confirmed cases so far. Here’s a list of the clusters in Singapore so far:

• Grace Assembly of God Church with 22 linked cases
• The Life Church and Missions Singapore with 6 linked cases
• Yong Thai Hang shop with 9 linked cases
• Grand Hyatt Singapore with 3 linked cases (there are more overseas)
• Seletar Aerospace Heights construction site with 5 linked cases, all Bangladesh workers
• Wizlearn Technologies with 8 linked cases

4 New COVID-19 Cases in S’pore Today (29 Feb); All Linked to New Cluster at Science Park

The first patient is a 27-year-old Singaporean who first had his symptoms on 21 February 2020. He had gone to a GP four days later on 25 February 2020, and again to Pioneer Polyclinic on yesterday (28 February). On the same day, he was identified as a close contact with Case 93 and was immediately isolated in NCID, and was tested positive yesterday afternoon.

The second patient is a 20-year-old Malaysian who first exhibited symptoms on 27 February 2020, and went to visit a GP yesterday. He, too, was identified as a close contact with Case 93 and was sent to NCID immediately, whereby he was tested positive yesterday afternoon as well.

The third patient is a 61-year-old Singaporean who’s also linked to Case 93; he was tested positive this morning and is now isolated in Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH).

The last patient is the third patient’s foreign domestic worker. She was tested positive this morning and is now isolated in NTFGH.

So, to sum it all, three patients were linked to Case 93, a 38-year-old Singaporean who was tested positive on Wednesday morning, and had symptoms since 17 February 2020 but mostly stayed in his home in Bukit Batok prior to hospital admission.
