It’s the first weekend that we’re able to dine out. Although we were not as restricted as before, we still have to maintain safe distancing at all times and today’s report will tell you why.
As of 12pm today (26 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 17 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
13 of them are community cases, with 6 of them unlinked. The other 4 are imported cases.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 62,530.
Based on yesterday’s figures, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from 104 cases in the week before to 93 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has increased from 14 cases in the week before to 18 cases in the past week.
1 of the New Clusters Reported on 25 June is in Changi General Hospital
Of the two new clusters, one, unfortunately, happens to be in Changi General Hospital.
Two new community cases were linked to the first case in the cluster, which now has three cases in total.
The two new cases are:
- a 67-year-old Singaporean man who works as a porter at Changi General Hospital
- a 72-year-old Singaporean man who works as a porter at Changi General Hospital
Both cases are linked to Case 64413 – a 35-year-old Singaporean man who also works as a porter at the hospital.
Both were detected through the hospital’s surveillance testing.
The 67-year-old had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while the 72-year-old has been fully vaccinated.
The 67-year-old is asymptomatic, while the 72-year-old has a runny nose but did not seek treatment.
Both men’s serology test results are negative for the N antigen, which suggests the presence of early infection.
105 Henderson Crescent Cluster
The other new cluster was identified at 105 Henderson Crescent after six positive cases were detected in this block.
They are:
- a 70-year-old Singaporean woman who is a retiree
- a 40-year-old Singaporean woman who works as a finance executive at ST Engineering
- a 45-year-old Filipino man who works as a maintenance specialist at Air Liquide
- a 32-year-old male Singapore Permanent Resident who works as a part-time delivery rider with Grab and Foodpanda
- a 32-year-old female Singapore Permanent Resident who works as an operation manager at Green Mart SG
- a 45-year-old Singaporean man who works as a manager at Meinhardt Group
All of their infections were detected through community surveillance testing for residents of the block.
Two have been fully vaccinated, while another two have received one dose.
There are now 10 cases in the cluster.
