Singapore reports 13 new COVID19 community cases, including 7 linked to the Changi Airport cluster; 25 infections in total

The first infection in the cluster at Changi Airport was detected on May 5, when an 88-year-old man who works as a cleaner at Terminal 3 tested positive.

The remaining 12 new COVID-19 cases reported on Tuesday were imported and were placed on stay-home notice upon their arrival in Singapore, said the ministry in its preliminary daily update. Five of the imported cases are Singaporeans or permanent residents.No new infections were reported in foreign workers' dormitories.

Authorities said on Sunday that all 9,000 workers at the airport's operating terminals will be tested for COVID-19. Terminal 3's Basement 2 has also been temporarily closed to the public after several COVID-19 cases visited outlets there. The Health Ministry said it is conducting epidemiological investigations.

哇,13宗本地確診個案?

Would have been avoided if everyone arriving had been processed in makeshift tents and put on buses directly to fixed facilities instead of being allowed to enjoy Changi airport and thus put the staff at risk of infection.

How is the vaccine working out? Tend to see more and more vaccinated people get covid 🤔
