Two days from now, we would officially be in Phase 3, and today’s results once again showed that we do deserve the next phase.
As of 12pm today (26 December 2020), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 10 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
All of them are imported.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 58,519.
Based on yesterday’s figures, the number of new cases in the community has remained low, with a total of 1 case in the past week who is currently unlinked.
MOH Investigating if There Could Be 1 More COVID-19 Case in Mandarin Orchard Incident
Yesterday, MOH reported 14 new cases that are all imported.
Like any imported cases, they don’t raise anyone’s eyebrows as all of them have been on SHN.
Except that one of them used to stay in Mandarin Orchard Singapore.
According to MOH, the Singapore PR arrived from the Philippines on 10 December, and served SHN at Mandarin Orchard Singapore.
He was moved to another dedicated facility on 20 December when MOH commenced investigations into the 13 previously reported cases who had served SHN at Mandarin Orchard Singapore between 22 October and 11 November 2020.
He was swabbed on 19 December and 21 December and his test results came back negative for COVID-19 infection.
As a precautionary measure, he was swabbed again on completion of SHN on 24 December, and went home following the test.
His test result came back positive that night and he was conveyed to the hospital the next day. Investigations are ongoing to assess if he could be linked to the 13 cases.
His serological test result is pending.
