Yesterday, 30 new Covid-19 cases were reported in Singapore, including 4 in the community.

Of the community infections, 3 were linked to existing cluster. This includes an 8-year-old student from Choa Chu Kang Primary School who is the son of 2 previously-diagnosed Covid-19 patients.

The last community case is currently unlinked.

26 new imported Covid-19 cases were also reported, comprising:

Importance of adhering to Covid-19 measures

Though the rise in community infections might cause some to feel anxious, we have faith that the cases will be ringfenced soon.

If anything, this is yet another reminder of the important of adhering to Covid-19 measures as we work together to keep each other safe.
