Average community & unlinked cases remain stable

The remaining 13 cases are workers living in dormitories.

Based on an overall look at the statistics, MOH said the number of new cases in the community is stable at an average of 1 case per day in the past 2 weeks.

The number of unlinked cases in the community has also been stable at an average of fewer than 1 case per day over the last fortnight.

Important to follow safety measures

Although cases in the community remain low, we should continue to be socially responsible and vigilant in the fight against Covid-19.

Do adhere to safety protocols like dining in groups of up to 5, keep a safe distance from people when in public, and more importantly, always wash your hands and avoid touching your face unnecessarily.
