SINGAPORE – One imported case was among the coronavirus patients announced in Singapore on Tuesday (June 30), said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The patient, a 44-year-old permanent resident, returned to Singapore from India on June 24.
She was placed on stay-home notice (SHN) upon arrival and had been ferried in a dedicated transport to an SHN facility to start her 14-day isolation. She developed symptoms during SHN, said MOH.
It is the first imported case since June 14, when a Bangladeshi man who came to Singapore to seek medical treatment that was not related to Covid-19 later tested positive for the coronavirus.
The woman was initially counted as a community case on Tuesday afternoon but later reclassified on Tuesday night as an imported one by MOH.
The five community cases reported on Tuesday are two Singaporeans and three work permit holders.
Among the two Singaporean patients, one was detected by the ministry’s proactive surveillance of persons deployed to front-line Covid-19 operations, even though he is asymptomatic.
Epidemiological investigations are ongoing for the other Singaporean patient.
