He developed a dry cough on Jan. 28 and anosmia on Feb. 9 but did not seek medical attention. He was subsequently detected from community surveillance testing of stallholders and shop owners in Chinatown on Feb. 9.

His test result came back positive for Covid-19 infection on Feb. 10, and he was conveyed in an ambulance to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID).

He was last at work on Feb. 8. He developed a runny nose on Feb. 8 after work but did not seek medical treatment.

As he had been identified as a close contact of Case 60138, he was contacted by MOH on Feb. 10 and placed on quarantine.

He reported his symptoms and was conveyed to NCID where he was tested for COVID-19 on the

same day. His test came back positive for Covid-19 infection on Feb. 11.

His serology test result has come back negative, indicating that this is likely a current infection.

Case 60145 is a 20 year-old male Singaporean who is a full-time National Serviceman. He works at the Singapore Armed Forces premises at 200 Airport Road.

He does not stay in camp, and his work does not entail interacting with other units. He felt unwell on Feb. 3, and sought medical treatment at a general practitioner clinic.

As he did not have symptoms associated with acute respiratory infection, he was not tested for Covid-19 but was placed on medical leave.

He subsequently went back to work on Feb. 8, and on Feb. 9, he developed fever and a runny nose.

He sought medical treatment at the medical centre located at Paya Lebar Airbase and was swabbed.

His test result came back positive for Covid-19 infection the next day, and he was conveyed in an ambulance to NCID.

His serology test result has come back negative, indicating that this is likely a current infection.

Epidemiological investigations are ongoing.

In the meantime, all the identified close contacts of the cases, including their family members and co-workers, have been isolated and placed on quarantine, and will be tested at the start and end of their quarantine period so that asymptomatic cases can be detected.

Serological tests for the close contacts will also be conducted to determine if the case could have been infected by them.
