Singapore recorded 334 new COVID-19 cases, announced late Tue evening (14 Apr).
There is no imported cases. 198 are linked to known clusters, of which the vast majority are Work Permit holders in the dormitories. 22 cases are linked to previous cases, of which 10 are Singapore Citizens/Permanent Residents and twelve are Work Permit holders
114 cases are currently unlinked to previous cases, of which 24 are Singapore Citizens/Permanent Residents, 85 are Work Permit holders, three are S Pass holders, one is Employment Pass holder and one is Dependant’s Pass holder.
Health Ministry’s director of medical services, Associate Professor Kenneth Mak, said today regarding the unlinked cases that such cases do not necessarily indicate an unknown source of transmission.
Some of the numbers are gathered from active testing conducted in different settings, not just in larger purpose-built dormitories, but also other smaller ones, and it takes time to compile and match the figures, he said.
“So, in fact, out of the proportion that are as yet unlinked, you will find that over the next few days that number whittles down progressively as we link them to existing clusters,” he added.
The new cases contributed to a total tally of 3,252 cases since the onset of the outbreak in the country.
