The other 2 cases are close contacts of previous cases who had already been placed on quarantine.
Meanwhile, 7 cases are imported and MOH said they were already on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) when they were tested and detected.

Although a lockdown hasn’t been announced yet, we can never be too safe as vaccinations are still ongoing.
So let’s all do our part to keep safe lest we go into a lockdown that’ll be costly in more ways than one.
