As of Feb. 29, all confirmed cases linked to the Yong Thai Hang (YTH) cluster has been discharged.

The last case from the cluster, case 20, was discharged today, Feb. 29.

Case 20 is a 48-year-old Singapore resident.

The YTH cluster began with six cases which were confirmed on Feb. 4.

The shop is a popular tourist spot for Chinese tourists; shopkeepers in the area said that multiple buses of tourists, who appear to be from China, would stop by the shop.

Four of them were Singapore's first local human-to-human transmissions of Covid-19.

The cluster eventually grew to nine cases - with cases 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 34 and 40 being linked to to YTH - on Feb. 8, making it the second biggest cluster in Singapore.

Cases 19, 20, 34 and 40 worked at the medicine store.

Case 19 was linked to three other cases - case 27, who is her husband, case 21, who is her foreign domestic helper and case 28, her six-month-old son.

Case 24 was a tour guide who brought tourists to YTH, and is linked to case 25, who is her husband.

The first three cases from the cluster - 25, 34, 40 - were discharged on Feb. 12, 8 days after the first cases of the cluster was confirmed.

Case 24 would be discharged on Feb. 15, followed by case 21 on Feb. 18. Case 27 was discharged on Feb. 21.
