August doesn’t exactly start well as we have one unlinked community COVID-19 case yesterday, but overall, the trend has been rather healthy as the number of community cases and unlinked cases has dropped.
Today, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 313 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.
