As of Monday noon (28 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional nine cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.

This brings the total number of infection cases to 62,553.

There are four new cases of locally transmitted COVID-19 infection, all of whom are linked to previous cases, and have already been placed on quarantine.

“Based on our investigations so far, the cases are in the community, and there are no new cases in the dormitories,” said MOH.
