As of Saturday (11 April), 12 pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed an additional 191 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, and the 8th death from complications of the disease.
There are no imported cases. 51 cases were linked to clusters at foreign worker dormitories and 21 were linked to non-dormitory clusters or other cases.
119 cases are untraceable — meaning they have no recent history of travel and links to previous cases. This is the highest number of untraceable cases since the appearance of the first case of COVID-19 on 23 Jan this year.
This brings the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 to 2299.
Three new clusters were found at Westlite Woodlands dormitory, North Coast Lodge and at Cassia @ Penjuru.
