Looking back at yesterday’s update, Singapore confirmed 17 new Covid-19 cases on 12 Jan, comprising all imported ones.

Here’s a breakdown of the details, according to MOH:

  • 1 Singaporean and 2 Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs) came back from India and the United States
  • 13 Work Permit holders from India, Indonesia, Myanmar, and the Philippines — including 12 domestic workers

More people travelling to Singapore for essential purposes

Singapore has shown significant progress in flattening the curve, although for now, the number of daily new cases have gone up due to people travelling to Singapore for essential purposes like work.

 

We hope the authorities will continue to swiftly pick up cases at our borders, so that the community remains safe from transmission risks.

In the meantime, we should continue to be socially responsible and vigilant in the fight against Covid-19. Mask up, and practise good hygiene.
