The Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 94 cases of Covid-19 in Singapore as of 12pm on Friday (Aug. 28).

This brings the total number of cases to 56,666.

There are four community cases, all of whom are Singaporeans or Permanent Residents.

There are also 10 imported cases, who had all been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.

Amongst the 80 cases residing in dormitories today, 58 are from Sungei Tengah Lodge, who had all been placed on quarantine earlier.

The vast majority of them were tested during quarantine to determine their status, or picked up through Rostered Routine Testing.

Following the detection of cases at Sungei Tengah Lodge , MOH had placed about 4,500 workers on quarantine, and has tested about 3,000 of them so far.
