334 COVID-19 Cases Today (29 July); 3 Community Cases & 4 Imported Cases

We’ve a rather goody day yesterday (read on and you’d understand), and thankfully, it appears that today’s the same.

Today, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 334 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.

This brings the total number of cases here to 51,531.

Out of today’s cases, 3 are community cases, with 2 being Singaporeans or Singapore PRs.

There are also 4 imported cases, and all of them were placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.

A majority of the cases are residents living in dormitories.

On average, based on yesterday’s numbers, the number of new cases in the community has decreased, from an average of 10 cases per day in the week before, to an average of 4 per day in the past week.

The number of unlinked cases in the community has also decreased, from an average of 5 cases per day in the week before, to an average of 2 per day in the past week.

Goody? Wait till you read about yesterday’s cases.

28 July 2020: No Unlinked Case & No New Place Added

Yesterday, there was only one community case, and he’s a 39-year-old male work pass holder. Because he was identified as a contact of a previously confirmed case, he had been quarantined earlier, and therefore it was a linked case.

And since the sole case reported yesterday has been quarantined, there’s no new place being added to the list of places that infectious patients have been to.

By 7 August 2020, all dormitories would’ve been cleared, and if this trend continues, we might finally go through a day with this headline:

“0 COVID-19 Case Today (8 Aug); Even Cats Are Wearing Mask As People in S’pore Remain Disciplined”
