SINGAPORE – The Ministry of Health (MOH) will conduct Covid-19 testing near Little India MRT for merchants in and around Tekka Center.
The test operations that will take place on Thursday (November 26) are part of the progressive rollout of community policing tests, the ministry said Wednesday night.
The Health Ministry announced seven new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, all of which were imported.
They were included in stay-at-home notices upon arrival in Singapore.
There were no new community cases and none of the workers’ bedrooms for the fifteenth consecutive day.
This was the longest period without a community case since the first coronavirus case was reported in Singapore on January 23. There were 12 days between the first reported case, which was imported, and the first community cases registered on February 4.
Wednesday’s new cases bring Singapore’s total to 58,190.
Of the seven new cases, one was a 58-year-old male permanent resident who returned from India.
There was also a 22-year-old student pass holder who also returned from India, as well as four work permit holders aged 23-41 who returned from India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The remaining case was that of a 36-year-old man with a short visitation pass who arrived from Ukraine to board a ship docked in Singapore as a member of the crew.
Overall, the number of new cases in the community has remained low, with no new cases in the last week, the Health Ministry said.
With 12 cases discharged on Wednesday, 58,476 patients have made a full recovery from the disease.
A total of 42 patients remain in the hospital, while 29 recover in community facilities. A patient is in critical condition in the intensive care unit.
Singapore has had 28 deaths from Covid-19 complications, while 15 who tested positive have died from other causes.
