It’s been a long fight against Covid-19, and we don’t know when a resurgence might happen. But we’re doing our best to ensure this doesn’t happen.

Case 57,107, a 59-year-old Singaporean male, was taken off the case count after authorities determined that his test was a false-positive.

He tested negative twice subsequently after his first positive test.

After investigations from lab experts and an expert panel decision, he was taken off the case count.
