SINGAPORE - Undergraduates Bryan Hoon and Tyler Lee, who were studying at the Imperial College in London, had thought that the Covid-19 situation was under control in England at the start of March.

They are among dozens of returning students here who caught the Covid-19 virus. As at Friday night, the number of infections has hit 1,114, with five deaths in Singapore. "But whenever we came together we were talking about the situation, who's flying off, how much the tickets were selling, are they going to cancel flights, whether London was going to get locked down," said Mr Hoon."There were a lot of uncertainties."

"I felt well, but the next day when I took my temperature I realised I had a fever of 38 degree celsius even though I had no chills," he said.He visited a clinic at the Nex shopping mall, which referred him to NCID. His infection was subsequently confirmed there.
