SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 226 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Monday (Aug 3), including one in the community and nine imported cases, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
This brings the national total to 53,051.
The sole community case involves a prison inmate on a short-term visit pass who had arrived in Singapore before the implementation of border measures, said MOH.
"He had been segregated from the general inmate population since his admission to Changi Prison Complex on Jul 30, and was tested as part of the Singapore Prison Service’s proactive screening of newly
admitted inmates," it added.
The ministry also said the nine imported cases had all been placed on stay-home notice upon arrival in Singapore.
