SINGAPORE – There are 247 new coronavirus cases confirmed as of Wednesday noon (June 17), taking Singapore’s total to 41,216.
They include five community cases, comprising two Singaporeans or permanent residents and three work pass holders, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Wednesday.
Migrant workers living in dormitories make up the vast majority of the other cases on Wednesday, said MOH.
More details will be announced on Wednesday night.
On Tuesday, the number of new daily coronavirus patients here and the average number of new cases in the community each day have continued to fall, ahead of the further reopening of Singapore’s economy from Friday.
This comes as the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Tuesday that 42 more dormitories housing about 4,000 migrant workers have been cleared of Covid-19.
While the daily number of new patients on Sunday was 407, it was 214 on Monday and 151 on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s figure was also the lowest number of new cases reported in over two months, after the 142 cases on April 8.
