“This last batch of workers come from dormitories with a relatively high prevalence of COVID-19, and will be subject to a final test before they complete their isolation periods. We therefore expect the daily case counts to be high for the coming two weeks, before tapering down thereafter,” the MOH said.“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,” MOH added.
