The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed an additional 295 cases of Covid-19 infection in Singapore, as of 12pm, Aug. 4.

The vast majority are work permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories.

The total number of cases stands at 53,346.

There are two cases in the community.

One is a Singaporean and the other is a Work Pass holder, who are both asymptomatic cases.

Case 53403 had been identified as a contact of a previously confirmed case, and was tested during quarantine to determine his status, even though he is asymptomatic.

Case 53408 was identified from the proactive screening of workers in essential services who are living outside the dormitories, even though she is asymptomatic.

There are also seven new imported cases who had been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arriving in Singapore.

275 more cases have been discharged.

There are currently 125 confirmed cases who are still in hospital. Of these, most are stable or improving, and one is in the intensive care unit.

5,740 are isolated and cared for at community facilities.

Locations visited by Covid-19 patients while infectious

One new location was added to the list of places visited by Covid-19 patients while infectious:

• July 31, 7pm to 9pm, Holy Tree Sri Balasubramaniar Temple (10 Yishun Industrial Park A)

Here is the full list as of Aug. 4:

Those who had been identified as close contacts of confirmed cases would already have been notified by MOH.

As a precautionary measure, persons who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit.

They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history.

There is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been. The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
