- Ms Rasif, 27, said a maid her family had employed from Indonesia was discharged from her stay-home notice after about three days.

Ms Rasif said she then sent a WhatsApp message to the ambulance service - which she said was the only contact number she was given - only to be replied with an expletive.Ms Rasif said she was due to appear in court at the time and had contacted the courts to ask for a postponement given that her maid had tested positive for COVID-19 - only to later receive a call from the police informing her she was under investigation for breaching a quarantine order, despite never receiving one.

“Being recovered doesn’t mean you can’t get reinfected especially with new variants spreading around ,” she said. The Indonesian national had entered Singapore on Apr 11, and was tested for COVID-19 upon arrival, said MOM. The two ministries had “wanted to be sure” of her status despite knowing she had recovered from an old infection and was thus at “low risk of reinfection”, MOM stated.

Responding to Ms Rasif’s concerns about why the maid had not been assigned a case number despite testing positive on the PCR test, MOM noted individuals are not classified as COVID-19 cases while clinical assessment is still ongoing.
