The remaining six cases were detected through MOH’s surveillance testing.
13 of these cases are linked to the Avery Lodge Dormitory cluster, which now has 128 confirmed infections linked to it.
1 Case Removed From Tally
On 21 Sep 2020, the total number of cases in Singapore was 57,607.
However, one Covid-19 case has been removed from the total tally.
According to MOH, Case 57679’s first test returned a “borderline positive” result.
Two subsequent swab tests on him returned negative.
That was when laboratory experts and an expert panel decided that he was a “false-positive” case.
Initially, he was detected under the enhanced community surveillance where every individual, aged 13 and above, will have to undergo the swab test if he or she visits a doctor for acute respiratory infection (ARI).
With the removal, the total number of Covid-19 cases in Singapore now stands at 57,606.
USS & Plaza Singapura Visited By Infectious Covid-19 Cases
Two more places were added to MOH’s list of places visited by Covid-19 cases during their infectious phase:
- Universal Studio Singapore on 10 Sep 2020 from 2.35pm to 8.35pm
- Nanjing Restaurant at Plaza Singapura on 11 Sep from 7pm to 7.50pm
If you have been in the areas during the same timeframe, monitor your health for the next 14 days and see a doctor if you exhibit even the slightest symptoms.
There’s no need to avoid the places as the National Environment Agency (NEA) would’ve gotten in touch with the operator of the places to thoroughly clean the location.
