So, more than a week has passed since the dormitories have been cleared, but high numbers of daily cases are still reported, and today’s no exception.
Today, as of 12pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 86 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 55,747.
Out of today’s cases, 2 are community cases, with 1 being a Singaporean and the other being a work pass holder.
In addition, there are 6 imported cases, who had all been placed on Stay-Home Notice or isolated upon arrival in Singapore.
The vast majority of the infections are Work Permit holders who are currently under quarantine.
On average, based on yesterday’s numbers, the number of new cases in the community has remained stable at an average of 2 cases per day in the past 2 weeks. The number of unlinked cases in the community has also remained stable at an average of 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.
So, with us having gone through COVID-19 for more than half a year now, how have we adapted to the measures meant to keep us safe?
While new habits have been formed, it’s revealed in a survey that almost half of us have been “sick and tired” of the COVID-19 rules.
