This brings the total number of cases to 57,840.

There isn’t any community case today.

There are 6 imported cases, and they’ve all been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.

On average, based on yesterday’s numbers, the number of new cases in the community has increased from an average of 1 case per day in the week before, to an average of 2 cases in the past week.

The number of unlinked cases in the community has remained stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.

Last night (7 Oct), MOH’s report indicated that there are currently 43 confirmed cases who are still in hospital. Of these, most are stable or improving, and 1 is in critical condition in the intensive care unit..

More Places Added to List of Places COVID-19 Patients Have Been To

A number of new places were also added to the list of places that COVID-19 have been to, and some include very large places like USS or Ikea Tampines.

Here’s the latest list:

As usual, 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.

However, 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.

Alternatively, 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.
