There are 262 new coronavirus cases confirmed as of Sunday noon (June 21), taking Singapore’s total to 42,095.

They include nine community cases, of whom three are Singaporeans or permanent residents and six are work pass holders, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Sunday.

Migrant workers living in dormitories make up the vast majority of the other cases on Sunday, said MOH.

More details will be announced on Sunday night.

On Saturday, the ministry said that only one Covid-19 patient is in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Before that, there was only one such patient in ICU on June 13, and two since June 14.

The number of such patients in ICU has been on a decline since it peaked on April 10 with 32.

MOH said that cases continue to be picked up among work permit holders staying in dorms, due to extensive testing there as part of the process to verify and test the status of all workers.
