MOH Announces 2 New Cases & 4 More Covid-19 Recoveries, Includes Church Staff
After a Covid-19 case was retroactively found to be part of a church cluster yesterday, MOH announced that 2 new cases today currently have no links to existing ones, reported CNA.
The Wednesday (26 Feb) announcement includes 2 Singaporeans, who have no recent travel history to China. There are now 93 confirmed cases.
Meanwhile 4 more cases have been discharged – Cases 46, 56, 59 and 73.
2 new cases with no link established yet
Case 92, a 47-year-old male, tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday (26 Feb) and is currently at Sengkang General Hospital.
Case 93, a 38-year-old male, also tested positive today and is now at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
MOH are still trying to find out if there are any existing links between the two previously-known cases.
4 discharged cases include Bangladeshi worker
The following have been discharged on 26 Feb:
- Case 46 is a staff member at the Grace Assembly of God church;
- Case 56 is a Bangladeshi worker;
- Case 59 works at a private hospital;
- Case 73 works at Tengah Air Base.
62 have recovered from Covid-13 – that’s at least two-thirds of all confirmed cases.
Recoveries outpacing new cases
While Singapore is still far from the clear in terms of Covid-19, the high number of recovery cases coupled with long isolation periods arguably makes Singapore safer than many other countries.
It’s testament to both our healthcare system and the effort of authorities that what appears to be an outbreak is actually being contained.
Hopefully this pattern continues and that community spread is kept to a minimum.
