Singapore’s Covid‑19 Cluster Finally Shrinks to Zero
After a careful week‑long vigil, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that the last local cluster of Covid‑19 cases has officially closed. No new links to the Case 60,102 cluster have popped up in the past 28 days, so the cluster is officially shut.
What Happened?
- Case 60,102 was a 41‑year‑old Singaporean cabin crew member who tested positive on Feb 9.
- Her husband and a domestic helper later tested positive, triggering a local cluster that MOH ran in that household.
- After 28 days of zero new transmissions, the cluster lights went off.
Mass‑Testing at NUS – All Clean
In the wake of a wastewater alert at the University of Singapore, MOH swabbed 438 residents in the UTown Residence North Tower. All tests came back negative. Good news, right?
Daily Numbers (Thursday)
- New cases: 17 – all imported and sent home with a stay‑home notice. Only one of these had symptoms.
- Recoveries: 8 new discharged, bringing the total recovered to 60,071.
- Hospitalised: 25 patients, none on ICU.
- Community: 112 people recuperating outside hospitals.
- Deaths: 30 Covid‑related, plus 15 other deaths among those who tested positive.
TL;DR
Singapore’s last Covid cluster is closed, the NUS mass test is negative, 17 new cases are all newly arrived, and the nation has seen 60,253 total cases so far.
