The higher number of cases is mainly due to a batch of test results from the previous day reported to the ministry after the 12pm cut-off for reporting the day before, said the MOH.
“They are asymptomatic and were tested during quarantine to determine their status. The remaining case is also asymptomatic, and was swabbed as part of our efforts to screen individuals working in frontline COVID-19 operations,” added the MOH. Case 48154 has been identified to be linked to a cluster at Toh Guan Dormitory.
Amongst the imported cases, two – cases 48148 and 48149 – arrived in Singapore from India on 9 July. The two work pass holders, who are currently employed here, had been placed on the 14-day stay-home notice upon their arrival here, and had been tested while serving their notices. The MOH also announced the closure of two clusters at Woodlands Lodge II at 190 Woodlands Industrial Park E7 and SSKBJV Dormitory at 31A Tanah Merah Coast Road. Both forms have been cleared of the virus, and now house only recovered individuals and those who have recently tested negative for the infection, it said.
As of Monday, about 247,000 workers have either recovered, or have been tested to be free from the virus.
