The city-state now has a total of 26,891 cases, of which 24,549 – or some 91 per cent – are foreign workers living in dormitories.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has similarly decreased from an average of three cases per day in the week before, to an average of one per day in the past week. Dozens of clusters linked to foreign worker dorms have been identified thus far, including Singapore’s largest cluster of 2,567 cases linked to S11 Dormitory@Punggol, followed by Sungei Tengah Lodge linked to 1,825 cases and Tuas View Dormitory linked to 1,268 cases.
Most of the 1,124 hospitalised cases are stable or improving, while 18 are in critical condition in the intensive care unit, down from 20 on Thursday. “Only cases where the attending doctor or pathologist attributes the primary or underlying cause of death as due to COVID-19 infection will be added to the COVID-19 death count,” said the MOH in previous press releases, adding that the method of assessment is consistent with international practices for classifying deaths.
