The Ministry of Health (MOH) has made early confirmation of 92 new Covid-19 cases today (18 Jul). This brings the national tally to 63,073.
Among them are:
Of the 88, 23 are linked to the KTV cluster, while 37 are linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster. 17 local infections are unlinked.
Meanwhile, all 4 imported cases had been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival and were tested during their stay.
1 was detected upon arrival in Singapore, while 3 started developing symptoms during SHN/isolation.
MOH will release more updates on the local Covid-19 situation tonight.
Yesterday, Singapore reported 68 new Covid-19 cases, with 60 locally transmitted infections and 8 imported.
29 cases were linked to the KTV lounges/nightclubs cluster, while 5 were unlinked.
Here’s a look at how these numbers compared with daily reported figures in the last 30 days.
There are currently 29 active clusters in Singapore, with the KTV lounges/nightclubs cluster forming the largest active cluster with 148 cases.
MOH is also currently investigating suspected ongoing transmission in 6 more KTV lounges.
More clusters have also been uncovered, and they involve markets and food centres. MOH reports that these clusters were likely formed when fishmongers visited the Jurong Fishery Port to collect their stock.
Some places of concern are:
The market in Ang Mo Kio will be closed till 1 Aug.
As daily numbers continue to rise, authorities are hard at work to ringfence the infections and keep the virus at bay.
In the meantime, residents should stay vigilant and abide by Covid-19 rules when they’re out and about.
It may be inconvenient to adapt to ever-changing rules, but it is for the sake of everyone’s safety.
