There are 142 new coronavirus cases confirmed as of Friday noon (June 19), taking Singapore’s total to 41,615.
They include a community case involving a prison inmate on a social visit pass, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday.
He had arrived in Singapore before the implementation of border measures and had been segregated from the general inmate population since his admission to Changi Prison Complex on June 6, the ministry said.
Friday’s new patient figure of 142 is the lowest since April 8, when there were also 142 cases.
Migrant workers living in dormitories make up the vast majority of the other cases on Friday, said the MOH.
More details will be announced on Friday night.
On Thursday, MOH announced a new coronavirus cluster – a dormitory at 10 Tech Park Crescent in Tuas.
The cluster includes two new Covid-19 patients confirmed on Thursday. They were linked to two previous cases, meaning that the cluster has four cases, MOH said on Thursday.
It was the first time a new cluster was announced after no new clusters were found for two successive days.
