A Bangladeshi man who came to Singapore to seek medical treatment that was not related to Covid-19 later tested positive for the coronavirus, making him the first imported case here since May 10.
He is among the 407 new coronavirus cases reported in Singapore on Sunday (June 14), said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The patient arrived in Singapore on Wednesday (June 10). His health declaration submitted before immigration clearance indicated that he did not have any Covid-19 symptoms, and had not been diagnosed or suspected to have the infection.
He was subsequently tested for Covid-19 and his results came back positive on Saturday (June 13).
MOH said that the imported case was placed on stay-home notice upon arrival in Singapore, and could only leave his designated place of residence for medical consultation and follow-up.
The Health Ministry said that contact tracing is ongoing, and that identified close contacts have been placed on quarantine.
The Straits Times understands the man does not hold a long-term pass here.
