The Ministry of Health has confirmed 506 new coronavirus cases in Singapore today (May 30).

Out of these, there are five community cases while the remaining cases come from Work Permit holders living in dormitories.

Of the five community cases, two are Singaporeans/Permanent Residents. One is a non-teaching preschool staff who was picked up as a result of proactive screening to prepare for the phased reopening of preschools. A serological test will be conducted to determine if this was a past or current infection. 

Of the three other community cases, one is a Work Pass holder and two are Work Permit holders. According to MOH, one of them tested positive right before he was due to start work on a plumbing project at a preschool. 

Overall, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from an average of seven cases per day in the week before to an average of 4 per day in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has remained stable at an average of two per day in the past two weeks.
