All foreign workers residing in dormitories in Singapore have been tested.
That means we’re going to see daily reports of 7 to 10 since we’ll now be left with imported cases and community cases, right?
Unfortunately, if that’s what you’re thinking, you’re wrong.
COVID-19 Cases in S’pore Expected to Be High in the Coming Days as 23,500 Workers Are Still Isolated
According to the Ministry of Health (MOH), there are about 23,500 foreign workers still in isolation.
These workers will be tested as their isolation comes to an end and the ministry expects more positive results to come from them, resulting in high numbers in the coming days.
Plus, while all foreign workers living in dormitories have been tested, there are still some results which are in processing.
However, it’ll taper down after that, MOH assures.
Community Cases On 9 Aug
If you’ve never read our daily report yesterday, you might be interested in knowing that there are 3 imported cases and 1 case in the community.
The one case in the community is a 57-year-old Singaporean woman who remains unlinked to previously confirmed cases. She tested positive on 8 Aug 2020.
The three imported cases have been on Stay-Home-Notice since they arrived in Singapore.
All three of them are from India: One is a Singaporean while two others are work pass holders.
The Situation in Singapore So Far
As of 9 Aug 2020, there is a total of 55,104 cases in Singapore.
Out of that figure, 48,915 of them have fully recovered.
Currently, there are 135 Covid-19 cases still hospitalised and another 6,027 cases recovering in community care facilities.
There is no patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
So far, Singapore has 27 people died due to Covid-19, with another 15 more who has the coronavirus but died of other causes.
The average number of new Covid-19 cases in Singapore remained constant at 2 per day while the average number of unlinked cases are at 1 per day.
In other words, as long as we don’t repeat the celebrations on 9 Aug 2020
We might see Singapore moving into more easing of restrictions; something that’s bound to happen, but according to experts, should come about “slowly“.
