SINGAPORE – Singapore has confirmed 14 new Covid-19 cases, including nine that are imported, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Sunday (March 15).
It is the highest number of new cases Singapore has reported in a single day.
Three patients are linked to previous cases, including a 28-year-old female Filipino national who teaches at MY World Preschool in Lengkok Bahru. The Singapore work pass holder, Case 221, is linked to Case 204, a 32-year-old American man who was in Japan from Feb 29 to March 8 and confirmed on Friday.
The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) said on Sunday that the woman was last at the pre-school on March 13. The pre-school has been ordered to close temporarily from March 16 to 27, which covers the 14-day incubation period from when the teacher was last in the school.
All pupils, teachers and staff will be given a leave of absence during the closure period and the pre-school will resume programmes on March 28. MY World Preschool will conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfection of its premises and is closely monitoring its staff and pupils’ well-being, ECDA said.
