Today marks the beginning of the last quarter of 2020, so how have we fared in the fight against COVID-19 so far?
No really well.
As of 12pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 21 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 57,786.
Out of today’s cases, 3 are community cases, and they are all Singaporeans or Singapore PRs.
There are 15 imported cases, and all of them had all been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.
Based on yesterday’s numbers, on average, the number of new cases in the community has remained 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.
3rd Person Linked to Changi Airport Case Infected; More Malls Added to List of Places COVID-19 Cases Have Been To
Yesterday, it was reported that there’s one more COVID-19 case that is linked to a positive case who had gone to work at Changi Airport, which means the Changi Airport Case is now linked to three more cases.
The other two community cases reported yesterday are unlinked: one is a 46-year-old Chinese national whose infection was detected through regular testing of workers in the construction, marine and process sector, and his infection is most probably a past infection based on serology test results.
The other is a 31-year-old Malaysian who was tested after she was diagnosed with acute respiratory infection (ARI) at first presentation to a doctor.
With the new cases, a number of new malls were also added to the list of places that COVID-19 cases have been to. Here’s the complete 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.
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.
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.
