Remember when the Ministry of Health (MOH) said we can expect lower numbers in the coming days?
Well, turns out, their prediction holds true today.

This brings the total to 56,404.
There is 1 case in the community, a Singaporean, and 7 imported cases.
All of the imported cases have been placed on Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore.
More details will be released tonight.

On 23 Aug 2020, 1 case in the community was reported.
MOH has confirmed that the case is a 38-year-old Vietnamese male pass holder.
He is an unlinked case and was detected under MOH’s enhance community testing. Basically, he got symptoms and went to the doctor and got checked the first time.
There were also 13 cases imported yesterday and all of them were placed on SHN the moment they arrived in Singapore.

Another Cluster In Already-Cleared Dormitory
Previously, Sungei Tengah Lodge, the biggest dormitory in Singapore has a new cluster reported.
One day later and another cluster has been reported.
One of the new Covid-19 case yesterday was linked to 4 previously-confirmed Covid-19 cases, and a new cluster was formed at Homestay Lodge at 39 Kaki Bukit Avenue 3
Two Covid-19 cases reported on 23 Aug are also linked to the Sungei Tengah Lodge Covid-19 cluster, bringing the number of cases linked to the cluster up to 58. All 58 are asymptomatic cases.
SHN has been issued to 4,800 workers and 20 construction sites have been issued a safety time-out (stop work temporarily).
As for why they’re so paranoid about this, it’s because they want to let workers start work in as safe a manner as possible.
The average number of daily new cases in Singapore remains stable at 2 per day.
The average number of unlinked cases in Singapore has also remained stable at 1 per day.
