SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health confirmed on Friday 40 new cases of COVID-19 here, bringing the total to 385.Of the 40 new cases, 30 are imported. 22 of them are Singapore residents – Singaporeans or Singapore permanent residents, seven are long-term pass holders while the remaining case is a short-term pass holder.

As of Friday, contact tracing is underway for 24 locally transmitted cases to establish any links to previous cases or travel history to affected countries or regions. Based on daily figures released by the ministry, there are over 190 local transmissions and around 190 imported cases. All short-term visitors are required to provide proof of the place where they will serve their notice, which bars them from leaving the premises during the period.

“Even with these controls, we have to be mentally prepared for the number of imported cases to increase, because more Singaporeans want to come back – students, people working overseas,” National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, who is the taskforce’s co-chair, said at a doorstop on Wednesday.
