It was reported yesterday that there were 12 new cases of COVID-19 with 8 imported from outside of Singapore (‘Twelve new cases of Covid-19; Eight imported cases from various countries‘, 11 Mar).

Among the 8 imported cases from outside of Singapore was Case 170, a 56-year-old Indonesian woman.

She reported onset of symptoms in Indonesia last Friday (6 Mar). On Monday (9 Mar), she came to Singapore and immediately presented herself at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).

The next day (10 Mar), she was confirmed to be infected with the COVID-19 virus after running through tests. She is currently warded in an isolation room at SGH.

It was further reported that she is linked to Case 152, another Indonesian who came to Singapore two days before the woman. Case 152 is a 65 year-old Indonesian man. Both Indonesians are members of the same family.

The man reported onset of symptoms in Indonesia on 28 Feb two weeks ago. He at first went to a hospital in Jakarta to seek treatment.

Last Sat (7 Mar), he came to Singapore and presented himself at SGH. Subsequent test results confirmed COVID-19 infection the next day on 8 Mar, one day before the woman came here. The man was warded in SGH.

It is surmised that once the man was confirmed to be infected with COVID-19, the woman decided that she too must have been infected and that she would seek treatment in Singapore immediately.

It’s not known how the 2 Indonesians managed to pass through the health monitoring stations when they arrived in Singapore since both were reported to already have onset of symptoms.

一恶痞被逮后情况好转 超市盼警方增巡逻次数

连年遭恶痞骚扰的超市指出,感谢各方帮助,也希望警方增加更多定期巡逻次数。 以往曾遭恶痞骚扰,甚至导致员工担心人身安全而不敢上班的Angel Supermart超市,自周末其中一名54岁男子被逮捕后,情况已经好转。 超市周末(9月26日)在脸书帖文指出,感谢警方关注此事并将其中一名嫌犯逮捕。 然而,超市强调,他们并没有恶意要重伤任何人。“他有问题,我们希望他能够获得所需的帮助。但是请远离我们,我们只希望在没有安全威胁和恐惧的情况下,经营好我们的生意。” 帖文中提及“恶痞不只一人”,而这里又是个繁忙社区,因此促请警方能够更关注这个地方,并进行定期巡逻。 超市也强调他们在此事件上,并没有针对外国人或新加坡人。“事实上,就我们在所有组屋区的分行,所遇到的大多数困难情况都是来自本地人,外国人的事件通常在经过解释后都能够解决。” 超市在周日(9月27日)再次发出帖文,感谢警方亲临现场,和超市的团队交流,并且向超市承诺,会进行更多定期巡逻次数。“我们当然无限欢迎。”
