SINGAPORE – There were 10 new coronavirus cases confirmed as at Friday noon (Oct 2), taking Singapore’s total to 57,794.

This is the lowest daily new figure since March 12 which had nine cases.

Friday’s new cases included one community case, who is a work pass holder, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

There were also five imported cases, who had been placed on stay-home notices upon arrival in Singapore.

More details will be announced on Friday night.

On Thursday, MOH confirmed 19 new coronavirus cases, after removing two community cases it had announced earlier when further tests confirmed the individuals did not have Covid-19.

Initial tests showed they were borderline-positive.

In an update on Thursday night, the ministry revised the number of community cases from three to one. The sole case was a permanent resident.

Among the 15 imported cases reported were four special pass holders who are crew members of a ship that arrived from Malaysia on Sept 23.

They did not disembark, and were later taken to a hospital after testing positive for Covid-19 while on board.
