10 COVID-19 Cases Today (9 Jul); 1 is a Community Case Who is Unlinked

With our single-digit community cases, it seems like things are getting better.

As of 12pm today (9 Jul), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 10 new cases of COVID-19 infection.

The sole community infection is an unlinked case. The remaining 9 are imported cases.

This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 62,678.

Based on yesterday’s number, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from 58 cases in the week before to 23 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has increased from 8 cases in the week before to 9 cases in the past week.

The 7-day moving average number of all linked community cases and all unlinked community cases are 2.0 and 1.3 respectively.

84 Cases in Hospitals; 6,009,699 COVID-19 Vaccine Doses Administered

84 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are well and under observation. There are currently 10 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 2 in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

There are currently 22 active clusters, ranging between 3 and 94 infections. MOH has been monitoring existing clusters for any further transmission. As there have been no more cases linked to the Changi Prison Complex cluster for the past two incubation periods (i.e. 28 days), the cluster has now been closed.

As of 7 July 2021, we have administered a total of 6,009,699 doses of COVID-19 vaccines under the national vaccination programme. The total number of doses administered was 6,009,699, covering 3,787,801 individuals. 2,221,898 individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.
