SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health is investigating if safe distancing rules were breached after a new family cluster of at least five people from two households had taken part in gatherings.
Five of the eight new community cases reported on Sunday (Aug 30) are linked to a 13-year-old COVID-19 case, who was reported on Thursday. Two confirmed cases reported on Friday are also linked to the 13-year-old.
The five cases reported on Sunday are part of a “family cluster” involving individuals across two households, said MOH.
“These individuals had participated in family gatherings, and investigations are ongoing to see if there were any breaches of safe distancing rules,” the health ministry said.
“We take a serious view of such breaches and will not hesitate to take enforcement actions against any offenders.”
