Cluster Chronicles
- All Saints Home (Jurong East) – 10 new cases (9 residents, 1 staff). A small fire that’s worth keeping under watch.

- Chinatown Complex – Now 126 cases, after 15 new inflows.
- Bus Interchange Staff Clusters – 9 new cases at Toa Payoh, Tampines, and Boon Lay, bringing that zone to 520.
Age & Hospital Stats
- Of the community surge today, 231 seniors (60+) added to the tally.
- Hospital bed count stands at 809, with:
- 75 needing oxygen – 59 of none are seniors.

With the cumulative national count now at 73,131, the numbers keep mounting—but so does Singapore’s resilience. Stay tuned and stay safe!
