The Ministry of Health reported 10 new cases of Covid-19 infection today (Mar. 9).

Amongst them is Case 151, who is the second case to be confirmed after he had recovered from the infection.

Case 151 is a 51-year-old male Singapore citizen who has no recent travel history to affected countries and regions.

He stays at Yishun Ring Road.

He is a contact of Cases 66 and 91, and is linked to the cluster at The Life Church and Missions Singapore.

He reported onset of symptoms on Feb. 4 and had sought treatment at a general practitioner (GP) clinic on Feb. 5 and Feb. 13, and at Yishun Polyclinic on Feb. 8 and Feb. 13.

As he had been identified to have attended the Chinese New Year gathering at Mei Hwan Drive on Jan. 25, he was referred by MOH to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) on Feb. 22, even though he had recovered by then.

Subsequent serological test results on the afternoon of Mar. 8 confirmed that he had an earlier Covid-19 infection.

This brings the total number of people in The Life Church and Missions cluster to 10.

This is the second patient we know who recovered from Covid-19 on their own.

The first such case was Case 91, a 58-year-old female Singapore citizen who experienced symptoms on Jan. 23. However she was not tested for Covid-19 when she visited Sengkang General Hospital because she did not fit the criteria to be a suspected case (i.e. no recent travel history to mainland China).

She was only diagnosed nearly a month later on Feb. 22 using a serological test.
