Among these are 9 Singaporeans and permanent residents.
Of the new cases, the vast majority are work permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in its daily update. More details will be released later on Saturday Night, the ministry added.
MOH study of linked cases in the community found that outside of the household setting, the majority of cases arose from workplace interactions, including work activities such as meetings and discussions, as well as meals or social interactions among colleagues.
- To reduce the risk of transmission as MOH gradually resume activities, all businesses and individuals must uphold good practices and measures that minimise the need for prolonged interactions.
- Good safe management measures like telecommuting, avoiding face-to-face meetings, and regular disinfection of common touch points and equipment should continue.
- At work premises, workers should avoid all social interactions with their colleagues, including during meals and break times.
- Everyone must wear masks when outside of the home
- Please continue to stay home when unwell, and practise good hand and personal hygiene.
