We’re almost two weeks into November and it appears that everything’s still under control.
As of 12pm today (12 November), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 11 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
All of them are imported.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 58,102.
Based on yesterday’s numbers, the number of new cases in the community has remained low, with a total of 2 cases in the past week.
73 Active Cases
Remember the community case reported two days ago (10 November 2020)?
Yesterday, the serological test result for the case has come back positive, which indicates likely past infection. Prior to this, he had been tested twice using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. His first test on 3 November was inconclusive, and the second test on 9 November yielded a very high CT value, which is indicative of a low viral load.
He works as a cleaner at an office building at PaxOcean Singapore Pte Ltd shipyard (33 Tuas Crescent), which is connected to a previous case, but there are no indications that they had interacted.
Currently, without taking today’s cases, there are currently 33 confirmed cases who are still in hospital. Of these, most are stable or improving, and none is in the intensive care unit.
40 are isolated and cared for at community facilities. These are those who have mild symptoms, or are clinically well but still test positive for COVID-19.
28 have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection.
