[UPDATED, 11.16pm]

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed 344 new coronavirus cases in Singapore today (May 25).

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

Of the six community cases, four are Singaporeans/Permanent Residents while two are Work Permit holders.

Among the new community cases is a 25-year-old Singaporean female who went to work at Learning Vision @ NUHS after a swab test.

And a 6-year-old Singaporean female child who developed symptoms on May 20, and is a household contact of previously confirmed Covid-19 cases.

The number of new cases in the community has increased, from an average of four cases per day in the week before to an average of seven per day in the past week. This is partly due to the active surveillance and screening of nursing home residents and pre-school staff, which have picked up more cases 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.
