From 7-11 Sep, Singapore has seen a slow but gradual increase in Covid-19 cases in workers’ dormitories.

Interestingly over the period, around half of the daily dormitories cases are detected through active surveillance.

We hope this proactive approach helps to swiftly ringfence positive cases and prevent further infections.

Today’s number of dormitory cases is promising, given that it’s significantly lower than those reported over the last 3 days.

Speedy recovery to all infected

We wish all infected with the coronavirus a speedy recovery and hope they’ll be discharged soon.

Though it might be frustrating to see Covid-19 cases months despite months of efforts, we must press on against the invisible foe.

Together, we’ll overcome this challenge, like the numerous ones that we’ve prevailed.
