Sole Community COVID-19 Case Reported Yesterday Investigated for Allegedly Breaking COVID-19 Rules
The sole community case reported yesterday is a 39-year-old Singaporean woman. She was asymptomatic.
She was detected when she was tested for the coronavirus before a scheduled cruise trip. She was taken to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases the following day, where her test returned a positive result, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
She lives at Jurong West Street 93 and had been working at Ruising Chemicals at 18 Boon Lay Way before her test result was confirmed.
Further investigations have revealed that the woman went on a Southern Islands tour in a group of 12 people on 14 Dec.
This is more than double the 5-person limit mandated for social gatherings.
She was on the tour with three families, including hers.
Consequently, the authorities will be carrying out investigations to assess if there was any breach of safe management measures when she was on the tour.
In the meantime, all her identified close contacts have been isolated and placed on quarantine and will be tested at the start and end of their quarantine period, MOH said.
Serological tests will also be done on her household and family contacts to determine if they had a previous infection, and whether they were the source of the transmission.
