Of the 313, there are:
All 5 are now serving Stay-Home Notices after arriving at Singapore. MOH will release more details tonight.
In MOH’s update yesterday (1 Aug), more locations have been added to the list of places visited by Covid-19 patients during their infectious period, dating back to 18 Jul.
Most recently, some of them have gone to IKEA Alexandra, Wisma Atria, Sunshine Place, Hillion Mall, and Causeway Point.
Other places of note in the past week are:
The government announced last month that we can expect to see all migrant worker dormitories to be cleared by the first week of August.
This doesn’t include 17 standalone blocks in 8 purpose-built dormitories that currently function as quarantine facilities.
If all goes well, we should be seeing the numbers drastically go down really soon. In the meantime, keep your masks and SafeEntry logs at the ready. And always, practise good hygiene.
