Out of the Covid‑Crisis: A Round of Recoveries
The Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday, 10 June that all six people who had tested positive earlier this week are now fully recovered. Five of them have already left the hospital, leaving the last one to finish the paperwork before being discharged.
Who Were the Victims?
- Five bright students from schools like Anglican High, CHIJ Katong, Geylang Methodist, Hwa Chong and Ascensia.
- One support staff member from the same schools.
All of them were part of a proactive “stop‑the‑spread” sweep—testing anyone over 12 who showed symptoms of a respiratory illness. Their tests returned low viral loads, so their bodies fought off the virus fairly quickly. All six came back negative on a repeat test.
Cluster Updates: The Dormitory Wiggle‑Wags
Singapore’s larger picture still sees 444 new dorm‑related cases (the offices measured a 38 965 total of Covid infections). The MOH added three fresh clusters to the list:
- 7 people at 9 Sungei Kadut Street 3
- 33 people at 113 Tuas View Walk 1
- 24 people at 19A Tech Park Crescent
With the city’s phased reopening (and yes, it’s a typo to add that here), the average number of new community cases per day has climbed from 4 earlier to a 9 headline this week. When you add in the unlinked numbers—new cases not tied to a known cluster—those have risen from an average of 2 to 4.
Community Spotlight: 7 New Cases & Short Vibes
Of the seven community cases this week, five were asymptomatic (nice to say—no cough in the line of sight). They were discovered through active screening of work‑pass holders:
- Two work in essential services.
- One had already been in quarantine because he lived with a previously confirmed patient.
- One cracks a joke as a security guard at Hai Leck Engineering—turns out that place was a cluster hub.
The remaining three were Singaporeans: 38 , 56 , and 67 years old. The 67‑year‑old had a household link: he quarantined after he started coughing on 25 May. The 56‑year‑old is a guard stationed at 31 Sungei Kadut Avenue, found by a swab routine at dorm workers. Finally, the 38‑year‑old woman, who had a fever on 5 June, still shows no connection to a confirmed case.
Statistical Snapshot
- 25 fatalities from Covid complications.
- 9 individuals who tested positive but died of other causes.
- We’ve finally counted 26 523 fully recovered patients—equating to 68% of the total Covid‑19 patient population.
- Current in‑hospital count: 223 (including 3 in ICU).
- Community facility patients: 12 185.
Let’s take a breath and keep the serial numbers up! With these updates, the city is steadily steering towards a calmer horizon.
