This brings the total number of infection cases to 59,890.
There is one new case of locally transmitted COVID-19 infection.
“Based on our investigations so far, the case is in the community, and there are no new cases in the dormitories,” said MOH.
In addition, there are six new imported cases, who had been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.

MOH to exclude those who have recovered from an old COVID-19 infection in daily count
From 5 February, newly arrived Work Permit and S Pass holders in the Construction, Marine and Process (CMP) sectors, foreign domestic workers, and confinement nannies who have recent travel history to higher-risk countries and regions are progressively required to undergo mandatory on-arrival polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology tests.
“These have enabled us to quickly identify persons who have recovered from an old COVID-19 infection, and are no longer infective to others by the time they arrived in Singapore, and to exclude them from our daily case count,” said MOH.
