This was after the group was closed at Cassia @ Penjuru at 15 Penjuru Walk, as there were no new cases during the last two incubation periods, or 28 days.
With all of Monday’s new cases imported, it meant there were no new community or worker bedroom cases for the fourteenth day in a row.

Of the 18 new cases, two were Singaporeans who returned from the Netherlands and Indonesia.
The other cases were a 37-year-old man holding a work pass and a 35-year-old woman holding a dependent pass who arrived from Pakistan, as well as a 47-year-old man holding a short-term visit pass who arrived from the Philippines to board a ship docked in Singapore.
