Singapore’s Daily COVID‑19 Snapshot – August 10
By Monday noon (Aug 10) the island had pushed its total case count to 55,292.
New infections for the day: 188—just a couple of steps away from the cliff‑edge of unexplainable anxiety.
Community Ring‑Down
- Only 1 new community case – a local Singaporean.
- “Unlinked” means it’s a bit of a mystery ride for our contact‑triers.
- All 12 imported fares were held on stay‑home notice checkpoints upon arrival.
- The lion‑heart of the tally came from migrant dorm workers: 171 on Sunday, 171 on Monday.
What’s Happening in the Dorms?
The “inter‑agency task force” wrapped up the final round of testing for dorm workers last Friday.
Results are still rolling in—so the numbers are expected to stay high for a few more days before we see a decline.
Case Highlights
- Sunday’s unlinked community case: 57‑year‑old woman who had been fighting a lingering cough.
- She’s under full contact‑chain review; everyone she’s mingled with has been isolated and R‑tested.
- Imported cases:
- Singaporean returning from India (July 25).
- Two Indian work‑pass holders who arrived same week (July 26).
- All were guided to dedicated stay‑home facilities and tested before being told to “stay at home, just stay home.”
- 57 untreated patient recoveries this Sunday wove the “discharged” net to 48,900.
Hospital‑hood & Community Vaccination
The Ministry notes:
- 135 COVID patients still in hospital (none in ICU).
- 6,027 patients recuperating in community care.
- Rest of the folks are mostly on the mend and holding steady.

Inside the KSZ: 27 deaths due to COVID complications and 15 whose demise wasn’t caused by the virus.
The world’s tally (since Dec last year): > 20 million infected, > 733,300 dead.
