This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 57,627 after one case was removed from the tally on Monday for being a false-positive case.

It was reported that 21 out of 21 cases reported yesterday are asymptomatic, which highlights the importance of wearing a mask when outside.

No new places were added to MOH’s list of places visited by infectious Covid-19 cases.

Now imagine if everyone decided that wearing a mask is a hassle, such as waiting for the food to arrive, and the Covid-19 case decides to chit chat and talk loudly while looking around without wearing a mask?

Overall Situation In S’pore

Yesterday also ended the streak of Singapore having more Covid-19 patients discharged versus new cases.

It broke even instead.

21 Covid-19 patients were discharged from the hospital and Community Care Facilities (CCFs).

This brings the total number of recovered Covid-19 patients to 57,262.

37 cases are still in the hospital but they’re all in stable condition, with no Covid-19 patient in the intensive care unit.

There are another 301 cases being isolated and cared for at CCFs.
