It’s the end of the first week that we’re allowed to dine in. As we absentmindedly leave our trays behind only to get a verbal reminder, we look around the vastly deserted hawker only to remember that COVID-19 never forgets to ‘turn up for work’.
As of 12pm today (27 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 14 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
12 of them are community cases, with 1 of them unlinked. The other 2 are imported cases.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 62,544.
Based on yesterday’s figures, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from 109 cases in the week before to 92 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has increased from 13 cases in the week before to 19 cases in the past week.

Through surveillance, 4 new unlinked cases have been detected, including a navy serviceman. Here are the details:
- A 27-year-old, fully-vaccinated male serviceman in the Singapore Navy who was a close contact to a positive case and was quarantined from 10 June to 22 June. However, he developed a fever on 24 June and was tested positive for COVID-19 on the same day.
