The Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed 10 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore on Oct. 23.

This brings the total number of cases to 57,951.

There are no community or dormitory cases today.

All 10 imported cases had been placed on 14-day Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore and were tested while serving SHN at dedicated facilities.

Three more discharged

Three more cases of Covid-19 infection have been discharged from hospitals or community isolation facilities.

In all, 57,832 have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged.

There are currently 52 confirmed cases who are still in hospital.

Of these, most are stable or improving, and none is in the intensive care unit.

39 are isolated and cared for at community facilities. These are those who have mild symptoms, or are clinically well but still test positive for Covid-19.

28 have passed away from complications due to Covid-19.

No new locations

No new locations were reported today.

MOH regularly updates a list of public places visited by confirmed cases for more than 30 minutes during their infectious period.

This is the latest list of locations visited by confirmed cases within the last two weeks:

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

As a precautionary measure, those 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.

MOH also said that 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.
