The Ministry of Health (MOH) has made early confirmation of 4 new Covid-19 cases today (12 Oct). The national tally is now at 57,880.

This is also the lowest daily record since 10 Mar.

Of the 4, there are:

  • 1 community case
  • 2 imported cases
  • 1 dorm case

All 2 imported ones are serving Stay-Home Notices after arriving at Singapore. MOH will release more details tonight.

Recapping yesterday’s updates, MOH made early confirmation of 10 new Covid-19 cases as of 12pm.

The cases comprised:

  • 0 community cases
  • 7 imported cases
  • 3 dorm cases

For the 3 cases living in workers’ dormitories, 2 were close contacts of previously confirmed cases. They have since been under quarantine.

The other case was picked up through routine testing at the dorms.

7 imported cases serving SHNs

While we learnt that there were 7 imported cases yesterday, details on them were only released around 10pm last night (11 Oct).

 

They comprise:

  • 2 Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs) arriving from Indonesia
  • 3 Work Permit holders employed in Singapore arriving from Malaysia and the Philippines
  • 2 Dependant’s Pass holders from the Philippines and Saudi Arabia.

All of them showed no symptoms despite the positive Covid-19 test results.

Average of 1 community case a day in past week

Although Covid-19 remains a threat in our society, authorities are reporting an encouraging trend of 1 community case a day in the past week.

The same can be said for unlinked community cases, which as gone down from 1 to 0 in the past week.

Stay vigilant and practise good hygiene. With a little more patience, we hope Singapore will be out of the woods real soon.
