The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported a total of seven new Covid-19 cases earlier today (Oct. 10).
There was one case in the community, and one new case who was a dormitory resident.
The other five were imported cases.
New community case was on Stay-Home Notice with family members
There was one new case in the community, Case 58015, a 41-year-old man who is a Permanent Resident (PR).
The man is a family member of previously-confirmed cases, Cases 57890 and 57945, who had arrived from Indonesia on Sep. 25, and were allowed to serve their Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at home as Case 57945 is a two-month old infant.
The 41-year-old was placed on SHN as well, due to his exposure to his family members, even though he had not travelled.
He subsequently developed symptoms during quarantine and was tested positive for Covid-19 infection.
Five imported cases
All of the five imported cases had been placed on 14-day SHN upon arrival in Singapore.
They comprise:
- A PR who returned from Belarus
- A Singaporean who returned from Qatar
- A Work Pass holder who is employed in Singapore, who arrived from France
- Two crew members who arrived in Singapore from the Philippines to board a ship docked here
