SINGAPORE – A coronavirus patient is in critical condition in the intensive care unit, the first such case here in more than two weeks, according to an update by the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Monday night (Aug 3).
The last time there was a Covid-19 patient in ICU was July 13. Since then, no patients have been reported to need such care until Monday.
Monday’s ICU case is one of the 115 coronavirus patients who are still in hospital.
Together with the 5,730 still recuperating in community facilities, Singapore now has 5,845 active cases.
This makes up 11 per cent of the 53,051 cases that Singapore has recorded to date.
With 253 cases discharged on Monday, 47,164 have now fully recovered from the disease and been discharged.
MOH also announced 226 new coronavirus cases on Monday, including one community case: an inmate who was admitted to Changi Prison Complex on July 30.
The 26-year-old Sri Lankan man, who is on a short-term visit pass, was tested as part of the Singapore Prison Service’s proactive screening of newly admitted inmates.
