23 New Covid-19 Cases Reported Today (30 Sep); 3 Cases In The Community

As of 12pm on 30 Sep 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) preliminarily reported 23 new Covid-19 cases.

Yes, it’s above 20 but, hey, at least it’s below yesterday’s?

According to ST, there are 3 cases in the community, all of whom are work pass holders.

There are also 4 imported cases, all of whom were placed on Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore.

This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 57,765.

One Community Case Reported On Tuesday (29 Sep)

If you’ve been checking MOH’s or Goody Feed’s daily updates, you would have realised that we’re no longer in the 1,000 daily infections club.

27 new infections were reported on Tuesday, including just one community case.

9 out of the 27 cases were imported, all of whom arrived in Singapore between 16 and 18 Sep.

All 9 imported cases were placed on stay-home notice upon arrival in Singapore.

Migrant workers living in dormitories made up the remaining 17 infections, of whom eight were already quarantined as they were identified as contacts of previous cases.

The other nine cases were detected through surveillance testing, reported ST.

Multiple Visits By Infectious Covid-19 Cases To Changi Airport T1, Alexandra Food Village

Two food courts and four shopping malls were added to the list of public places visited by infectious Covid-19 cases in the community, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday (29 Sep).

The four shopping malls are Ngee Ann City, IMM, Bugis Junction, and Bugis+.

Alexandra Village Food Centre and Orchis Food Court in Changi Airport Terminal 1 were the two food courts added to the list.

The food at Orchis Food Court must be particularly scrumptious because it was visited six different times while Alexandra Village Food Centre was visited at four separate time slots.

Here’s MOH’s updated list:

As always, there’s no need to panic and avoid these places. The National Environment Agency will work with the management of the affected premises to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

However, those who visited the new locations added by MOH should monitor their health for 14 days from their date of visit.

MOH urged them to visit a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection, such as a cough, sore throat, runny nose, a fever, as well as loss of taste or smell.
