This brings the total number of infection cases to 62,606.

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. There are no unlinked cases today.

In addition, there are 3 imported cases, who have already been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) or isolated upon arrival in Singapore. 1 was detected upon arrival in Singapore, while 2 developed the illness during SHN or isolation.

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

Condition of confirmed cases & progress of national vaccination programme

According to last night’s press release, 119 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are well and under observation.

There are currently nine cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and three in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

“As of 1 July 2021, we have administered a total of 5,551,613 doses of COVID-19 vaccines under the national vaccination programme.” said MOH.

The total number of doses administered was 5,551,613, covering 3,426,468 individuals. 2,125,145 individuals have received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen.

MOH to stop providing details of COVID-19 community cases

As Singapore moves towards a new phase of battling the pandemic, the MOH said in a statement on 29 June that it will no longer disclose details of each new COVID-19 case detected in the community.

“Besides daily numbers, we will include information on the key trends of the local situation, clusters we are monitoring, progress of vaccination and the number of people who suffered a severe form of the disease,” said the Ministry.

According to the MOH, this decision was made by the COVID-19 multi-ministry task force, with a “strong focus on preventing the virus from spreading, vaccinating our population and starting the process to transit to a new normal”.
