The Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed 305 new cases of Covid-19 as of 12pm on Monday, May 18.
The total number of Covid-19 cases in the country is now 28,343.
Among the confirmed cases, two are Singaporeans or Permanent Residents.
The majority of the cases are Work Permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories.
The lower number of cases today is partly due to fewer tests being processed as one testing laboratory is reviewing its processes following an earlier apparatus calibration issue, and will need time to ramp up its testing capacity.
Further updates will be shared in a separate announcement from the Ministry later in the evening.
