The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed 38 new Covid-19 infections on Thursday (21 Jan), bringing our national tally to 59,235.
Of the new cases, 4 are in the community and none are from workers’ dormitories.
33 of the 34 imported cases had been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore. 1, however, was on a controlled itinerary during his stay here, reports MOH.
He apparently tested negative upon arrival on 17 Jan, and only tested positive for Covid-19 on 20 Jan.
MOH will share more details on the new cases later tonight.
Yesterday, there were 40 new cases reported in Singapore, including 4 in the community.
Of the 4 community infections, 3 of them are employees at BS Industrial & Construction Supply, located along Kallang Place.
The trio is currently linked to Case 59429, forming a new cluster. There are currently 6 active Covid-19 clusters.
The remaining community case involves an Indian national who had initially tested negative last November. His pre-flight test on Tuesday (19 Jan), however, returned positive.
Here’s a breakdown of the remaining 36 imported cases:

The recent spate of community cases and clusters would understandably cause some Singaporeans to feel anxious.
Nonetheless, we are confident that the authorities will be able to ringfence the cases in a timely fashion with the Covid-19 measures we already have in place.
