Moderna vaccine distributor among 10 new clusters on 30 Jul
In their evening update on Friday (30 Jul), MOH reported 10 new clusters.
9 of them are linked to individual cases, with little information available as part of MOH’s new daily update format.
The remaining cluster has links to Zuellig Pharma, a company that distributes Moderna Covid-19 vaccines.
8 of the new clusters comprise 3 or 4 cases each.
The 2 remaining clusters, 1 of which is Zuellig Pharma, comprise 6 cases each.
Singapore currently has 63 active clusters — the highest number in the past month.
The silver lining, however, is that most of these clusters did not report new cases on 30 Jul.
Jurong Fishery Port cluster grows to 999 cases
The Jurong Fishery Port cluster, currently our nation’s largest, now has 999 cases, with 28 new infections on Friday (30 Jul).
The KTV lounges and Samy’s Curry Restaurant clusters saw more modest growth, with 1 and 8 new cases linked respectively.
The Punggol Primary School cluster which emerged earlier this week saw 1 new case. However, its tally remains at 12 cases.
Hope patients will have a smooth recovery
The emergence of new clusters would understandably cause some to worry.
However, the fact that most other clusters are not reporting new cases also shows that ongoing containment and contact tracing are effective.
Most importantly, we hope that individuals who have contracted the virus will recover smoothly.
