Here is the full list of locations visited in the past 14 days, as of Nov. 10:

Two locally-transmitted cases

Two of the cases announced today were locally-transmitted. This comes after four days of no new locally-transmitted cases, since Nov. 5.

There is one case in the community today — a 25-year-old Malaysian who is currently unlinked. Case 58262 was last at work as a cleaner on Nov. 2.

He developed symptoms a day later, and sought medical treatment at a General Practitioner clinic, where he was tested for Covid-19 under MOH's enhanced community testing to test all individuals aged 13 and above who are diagnosed with acute respiratory infection at first presentation to a doctor.

The other locally-transmitted case announced today resides in a dormitory.

He was detected through MOH's bi-weekly Rostered Routine Testing of workers living in dormitories. His serological test result has come back positive, which indicates likely past infection.

Seven imported cases

Seven of the cases announced today are imported. They had been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore, and were tested while serving their SHNs.

Amongst the seven imported cases, one (Case 58257) is a Singaporean and another (Case 58258) is a Singapore Permanent Resident who returned from Uzbekistan and Indonesia respectively.

Another two (Cases 58259 and 58260) are Work Permit holders currently employed in Singapore who arrived from Indonesia.

The next case (Case 58261) is a Dependant’s Pass holder who arrived from the UAE.

The remaining cases are Short-Term Visit Pass holders. Case 58252 is on a work project in Singapore while Case 58253’s spouse is a Singaporean.

40 remain in hospitals

Four more cases of Covid-19 infection have been discharged from hospitals or community isolation facilities. In all, 57,985 have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospitals or community care facilities.

There are currently 40 confirmed cases who are still in the hospital, most of whom are stable or improving.

None is in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

20 cases who have mild symptoms or who are clinically well but still test positive for Covid-19 are isolated and cared for at community facilities.

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