He tested positive a month ago on 26 Jan when he was in Indonesia, and was hospitalised there on 27 Jan. He was then transferred to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) in Singapore for treatment.

The deceased wasn’t included in Singapore’s Covid-19 case count as he was deemed an ‘overseas registered case’.

Stay vigilant & report symptoms promptly

Although we’ve not had community cases in the last 3 days, we should continue to remain vigilant as Singapore isn’t out of the woods yet.

This includes many things that have become part of the new normal, like wearing a mask, practising safe distancing, and good hygiene.

If you have symptoms, do seek medical attention immediately instead of prolonging the wait so the risk of transmission can be curbed promptly.
