A man from Wuhan, China, who previously tested positive for the coronavirus has since recovered and was discharged from the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) yesterday, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has said.
Another patient could be discharged in the next few days, the ministry’s director of medical services Kenneth Mak told a press conference yesterday.
The patient discharged yesterday is a 35-year-old Chinese national who arrived in Singapore on Jan 23 and stayed at Marina Bay Sands.
He developed symptoms the next day and was later warded at the NCID. He tested positive for the virus on Jan 27 and became the seventh case to be confirmed here. He is the first to be discharged.
“The patient was discharged well. All symptoms had fully resolved and he had tests over three consecutive days that were all negative,” Associate Professor Mak said.
“We’re quite confident that he’s no longer got any infection.”
Prof Mak noted that there are a number of other patients who have the virus but are well, including at least three who are not showing any symptoms. Many continue to make good progress, he added.
