Daily Dose June 13 : Goodbye F1
It's official, this year we will not be having F1. F1 has been in town since
2008. This will mark the first time in 12 years where we will not have massive traffic jams around Marina Bay for a week in September. Will you miss this crown jewel in Singapore sporting calender?
1) 463 new cases
445 cases in dorms
18 cases in Community (8SC/PR, 2 Wp, 8 Work Permit Holders)
2) Community cases rose to 18.
The community cases rose to the highest with increase proactive surveillance.
6 of the 8 SC worked in dorms.
We had previously highlighted the possibility of infection for staff in dorms and isolation community facilities. This group should be tested more regularly due to high contact with Covid19 patients.
3) Work Permit Holders outside dorms rose to 8
Another concern is the high number of Work Permit Holders and Work Pass
Holders (10). On that note, the stay home notice served by 180K FW in the construction sector and their dependants ended on May 18. Since then, they are allowed to leave their premises for daily chores. This group was not tested despite the widespread infections in dorms.
Following proactive tests, before they are allowed back to work, several cases have resurfaced. Who this be a possible leak that resulted in reservoirs of
undetected cases in the community?
4) New Places identified as places Covid19 cases had been to
Pioneer Mall, Waterway Point, Kaki Bukit Recreation Center and Mustafa added to the list. Mustafa was added as a hotspot twice on the list. Do not if you
had been to the following locations

5) F1 cancelled in Singapore

cancellation

than 2000 neighbourhood shops and hawker stalls.
