After yesterday’s excitement, it’s now back to focusing on the more important stuff.
There are no more public holidays until 14 Nov 2020.
That bad news aside, today’s figures show that whatever respite Singapore had over the past few days, it’s continuing, at least for today.
As of 12pm on 10 Aug 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reports 188 new Covid-19 cases.
There are 12 imported cases, all of whom were placed on Stay-Home-Notices upon arrival in Singapore.
There is one case in the community, a Singaporean, and foreign workers residing in dormitories make up a vast majority of the cases.
But don’t expect this streak to continue, MOH warns.
COVID-19 Cases in S’pore Expected to Be High in the Coming Days as 23,500 Workers Are Still Isolated
According to the Ministry of Health (MOH), there are about 23,500 foreign workers still in isolation.
These workers will be tested as their isolation comes to an end and the ministry expects more positive results to come from them, resulting in high numbers in the coming days.
Plus, while all foreign workers living in dormitories have been tested, there are still some results which are in processing.
However, it’ll taper down after that, MOH assures.
Community Cases On 9 Aug
If you’ve never read our daily report yesterday, you might be interested in knowing that there are 3 imported cases and 1 case in the community.
The one case in the community is a 57-year-old Singaporean woman who remains unlinked to previously confirmed cases. She tested positive on 8 Aug 2020.
The three imported cases have been on Stay-Home-Notice since they arrived in Singapore.
All three of them are from India: One is a Singaporean while two others are work pass holders.
