SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 94 new COVID-19 infections as of noon on Friday (Aug 28), with more than half of the cases from its largest foreign worker dormitory.
Four community cases, all Singaporeans or permanent residents, were reported, as well as 10 imported cases – all of whom had been placed on stay-home notice or isolated upon their arrival in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in its daily preliminary update.
The remaining 80 new cases are foreign workers living in dormitories, including 58 at Sungei Tengah Lodge, which has about 16,000 workers living there.
The dormitory was reported as a new COVID-19 cluster on Aug 22 – a month after it was declared to be "fully cleared" of the coronavirus – with the discovery of two new cases linked to 55 previous cases.
