1)931 cases reported

2 Imported cases

Imported cases resurface after a long hiatus. It could be from the returning Singaporeans or Singapore who opt to travel despite the ban ( No details were provided)

Community cases remain stable but still high. The fact that WPH outside of dorms remains high might be a source of concern.

Contrary to reports that S11 and Sungei Tengah Lodge dorms are not tested, they have added new cases to the clusters. Nonetheless, it is hard to tell if the dorms situation is under control without the knowledge of the number of people tested.
