21st Jul 2020
As of 21 July 2020, 12pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 399 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, the vast majority of whom are Work Permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories. Based on our investigations so far, there are 9 cases in the community, of whom 1 is a Singaporean and 8 are Work Pass holders. In addition, there are 3 imported cases who had been isolated or placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.
2. The higher number of cases today is mainly due to a batch of test results from the previous day reported to MOH after the 12pm cut-off for yesterday’s reporting.
3. We are still working through the details of the cases, and further updates will be shared via the MOH press release that will be issued tonight.
