Do you know that after a community case on 3 February was reclassified as an imported case, we had then gone through five straight days without any locally transmitted case?
Then today happened.
As of 12pm today (5 Feb), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 25 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
23 of them are imported cases.
1 is a dorm case and the remaining 1 is a community case.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 59,649.
Based on yesterday’s figures, the number of new cases in the community has increased from 1 case in the week before to 3 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has also increased from none in the week before to 2 cases in the past week.
The Sole Community Case Reported on 3 Feb Has Been Reclassified As Imported Case
On 3 Feb 2021, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 18 new Covid-19 cases.
17 of them are imported cases, all of whom were detected while serving their SHN or in isolation, with one community case.
However, they warned, this isn’t set in stone and the local case could be “reclassified“.
Yesterday, the female long-term pass holder has been reclassified into an imported case.
Her serology test returned positive, indicating that it’s likely a past infection.
Add to that her recent travel history to India between 30 Nov and 6 Jan, and what we have on hand is an imported case.
Meaning, she contracted Covid-19 outside of Singapore.
There are currently 38 confirmed cases who are still in hospital. Of these, most are stable or improving, and none is in the intensive care unit.
209 are isolated and cared for at community facilities. These are those who have mild symptoms, or are clinically well but still test positive for COVID-19.
