12 New Covid-19 Cases Reported Today (23 Sep); 1 Case In The Community

Today, Singapore has reached an all-new low, and we’re all happy about it.

By that, I mean the new Covid-19 cases being reported today.

As of 12pm on 23 Sep 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) preliminarily reported 12 new Covid-19 cases.

Yes. 12.

This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 57,639.

There is 1 new case in the community, a work pass holder.

There are also 4 imported cases, all of whom have been placed on Stay-Home-Notice upon arrival in Singapore.

More details will be released tonight.

Details On 22 Sep Cases

Imported Case: 1

The single imported case reported yesterday is a 23-year-old work permit holder who arrived in Singapore from India.

She has been placed on Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore on 10 Sep 2020, and was tested positive during her SHN.

Migrant Workers Staying In Dormitories: 20

Out of the 20 cases reported on migrant workers staying in dormitories, 6 of them are contacts of previously confirmed cases and were already placed on quarantine.

The remaining 14 cases were detected through MOH’s surveillance testing, such as the bi-weekly rostered routine testing.

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.
