Seafarers
Two of the imported cases were crew members of a ship that arrived in Singapore from Malaysia on Sep. 23.
They remained on the ship until they were transferred to a quarantine facility. There, they were swabbed even though they were asymptomatic.
Another imported case is a permanent resident who travelled here from the Philippines. The rest were work pass, work permit or special pass holders with travel history in countries like the Philippines, Indonesia and Canada.
All the imported cases were asymptomatic.
