As of Tuesday noon (25 May), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 30 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.

There are 21 new cases of locally transmitted COVID-19 infection. 15 are linked to previous cases, amongst which eight have been placed on quarantine, and seven were detected through surveillance.

“The remaining 6 are currently unlinked,” said MOH.

“Based on our investigations so far, 18 are in the community, and 3 reside in dormitories.”

In addition, there are nine new imported cases, who had been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore. Of these, three are returning Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs).

The Ministry will share further updates in its press release tonight.
