Lest you’ve forgotten, today is the one-year anniversary of the “lockdown” in Malaysia, and also the day when we’ve gone through six days without a community case.

As of 12pm today (18 March), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 15 new cases of COVID-19 infection.

All of them are imported cases.

This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 60,152.
