As of 12pm on 29 Sep 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) preliminarily reported 27 new Covid-19 cases.
This brings the total number of Covid-19 cases in Singapore to 57,742.
There is 1 new case in the community, a work pass holder, and 9 imported cases.
All imported cases have been placed on Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore.
New COVID-19 Community Case on 28 Sept Has Gone to Work in Changi Airport
Earlier today (28 Sept), we got to know that there were 2 community cases reported in Singapore—not a goody number given that the average is fewer than 1 a day.
It turns out that one has been infected by the other as they’re close contacts.
The other, who’s currently unlinked, was working in Changi Airport when he was tested positive.
The unlinked case, a 26-year-old Malaysia who holds a work pass, was tested as part of MOH’s proactive screening of workers in essential services who are living outside the dormitories.
His close contact lives with him, and when the close contact was contacted by MOH, he has already developed symptoms and was immediately conveyed to a hospital for a swab.
Currently, on average, the number of new cases in the community has continued to remain stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has also remained stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.
As for the 6 imported reported today, they comprise 5 pass holders and 1 PR. One of pass holders is 1 year old another is 3 years old.
No New Places Added to MOH’s List
There isn’t any new place added, so here’s the latest list:
As usual, people who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit. They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history.
There is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been. The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
Individuals may access the SafeEntry Location Matching Self-Check service via the TraceTogether App, SingPass Mobile, or at https://wereyouthere.safeentry.gov.sg to check whether they were at these locations during the specified timings, based on their own SafeEntry records.
