There are 322 new coronavirus cases confirmed as of Monday noon (July 13), taking Singapore’s total to 46,283.
They include 11 community cases, comprising two Singaporeans or permanent residents and nine work pass holders, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Monday.
The ministry said that the higher number of cases on Monday is mainly due to fewer tests being conducted by the Covid-19 testing laboratories over the public holiday and weekend on July 10 and 11, with the backlog of samples being cleared from Sunday.
“The number of cases reported for July 9 and before were not affected,” MOH said.
There are also five imported cases who had been placed on stay-home notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore.
Migrant workers living in dormitories make up the vast majority of the other cases.
More details will be announced on Monday night.
On Sunday, a 67-year-old Singaporean man, who is a non-teaching staff member at hospitality school Shatec, was confirmed to have the coronavirus infection and was the only new case in the community as of Sunday noon.
