4 recoveries takes total to 78

4 patients were discharged on 2 Mar, and with 78 recoveries plus no deaths, Singapore is still managing the situation well.

There are now just 6 in critical condition, one less than previous days. This, too, is a good sign.

Hopefully their conditions improve over the coming days and we wish all patients well in their recovery efforts.
