This brings the total number of Covid-19 cases reported in Singapore to 64,861.
131 locally transmitted cases, 52 unlinked
There are 131 new cases of locally transmitted Covid-19 infection.
28 are linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster, while one belongs to the KTV cluster.
Of the 131 cases, 64 are linked to previous cases, and have already been placed on quarantine. 15 are linked to previous cases and were detected through surveillance.
52 are currently unlinked.
Among today's cases, there is one senior above 70 years who is unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, and at risk of serious illness.
Eight imported cases
In addition, there are eight imported cases, who had already been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) or isolated upon arrival in Singapore.

SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday (30 July) reported 139 new COVID-19 cases in Singapore, taking the country's total case count to 64,861.
There are 131 new locally transmitted infections, of whim 28 are linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster while one is linked to the KTV cluster. The two clusters are now linked to 997 and 249 cases, respectively. Fifty-two local cases are unlinked.
Among the cases is a senior above the age of 70 who is partially vaccinated, and are at risk of serious illness.
Also detected were eight imported infections, of whom two were detected upon arrival here, while the six developed the illness during their stay-home notice or isolation period.
This story will be updated later.
30 require oxygen supplementation; 3 in ICU
A total of 62,663 cases in Singapore, or over 99 per cent of the overall total, have fully recovered from their infection and have been discharged from the hospital.As of Thursday, 572 cases are currently warded, most of whom are well and under observation.
There are currently 30 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation and three in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU). One among the 25 cases is fully vaccinated, but requires oxygen supplementation as she has underlying medical conditions, said the MOH.
Among them are also 24 seniors above the age of 60, of whom 23 are completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, have fallen very ill, it added.
Apart from the 37 patients who have died from COVID-19 complications, 15 others who tested positive for the virus were determined to have died from unrelated causes, including three whose deaths were attributed to a heart attack and another four, whose deaths were attributed to coronary heart disease.
Over the last 28 days, 39 local cases required oxygen supplementation, were admitted to the ICU, or died. Of them, 23 are unvaccinated, 15 are partially vaccinated and one is fully vaccinated.
As of Wednesday, 7.37 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered under the national vaccination programme. Some 4.28 million have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Of some 3.21 million who have completed the full vaccination regimen, 121,443 are individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 and have received at least one dose while the remaining are those who have received two doses.
The MOH guidelines state that recovered individuals – who are likely to have a strong immune response against COVID-19 within the first six months after their infection – are recommended to receive a single dose of vaccine to further boost their immunity against the disease.
Those who have received the Sinovac's CoronaVac vaccine locally are not included in Singapore's national vaccination numbers. As of Wednesday, 95,029 doses of the China-made vaccine have been administered to 71,810 individuals.

SINGAPORE - Over the last three months, 129 students and 17 school staff have tested positive for Covid -19.
This is about 0.03 per cent of the total student population from primary to pre-university levels, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing in a Facebook post on Friday (July 30).
He, however, reassured parents that schools remain safe places for learning.
"As a parent myself, I would like to reassure fellow parents that our schools remain safe places for learning," he wrote.
"We have implemented stringent safe management measures to minimise transmission risks. Surveillance measures are in place to detect potential Covid-19 positive cases as soon as possible, and we are using ring-fencing measures such as the Ministry of Education's (MOE) leave of absence (LOA) to keep potential cases out of schools."
The update comes in the wake of a new cluster linked to a cleaner at Punggol Primary School who was identified on Tuesday.
The cluster has since grown to 12 cases on Thursday, according to the Ministry of Health (MOH).
All pupils and staff of the school will undergo mandatory swab tests on Thursday and Friday.
The minister said he had received “mixed views” from parents, with some keen on transiting to full home-based learning (HBL) and others who are against this.
He listed several ways that HBL has an impact on students, parents and teachers.
Not all students have a conducive environment for HBL, he said, adding that “full HBL on a prolonged basis comes at a significant cost to our students’ learning, and socio-emotional and mental well-being”.
He also pointed out that parents may have to scramble to make alternative care arrangements which may not be safer for children, and that teachers are juggling the additional demands of preparing and conducting online lessons while taking care of their families.
Noting that Singapore is unlikely to see zero community cases in the short term, and vaccination for younger children is currently unavailable, Mr Chan added that full home-based learning (HBL) is not something that will be resorted to, unless necessary.
He said: "Based on current science and what we understand about the virus, MOE will continue to adopt a targeted approach to deal with Covid-19 cases in our schools.
This means that when we have a school case, we will isolate those who are close contacts of the positive case through LOA or a quarantine order."
In exceptional cases where the situation is unclear, MOE may put the entire school on HBL to break any possible transmission as well as to give the MOH time to test and investigate thoroughly before reopening the school, Mr Chan said.
“We will continue to monitor the situation closely and review if any adjustment is needed in line with national guidelines, especially as we transit towards managing Covid-19 as an endemic disease,” he added.

LianHe ZaoBao,
kudos to you folks!
a bit of a lead for you folks, go snoop around tuition centres, enrichment classes, etc... shiok shiok ah!
Amy, a local KTV hostess in her 30s, recently sat down with AsiaOne for an interview and revealed that it's now more common to see SIA girls juggling two jobs — being an air stewardess and a KTV hostess.
Amy, who started working in a KTV in January, said she was introduced to the industry by a friend. What immediately struck her was the presence of SIA girls in the KTV lounges.
She noticed that these girls are treated as prized commodities by both KTV owners and patrons alike.
For one, The Singapore Girl doesn't share the same waiting area as the other hostesses.
"Inside the KTV, there are two waiting areas. One is for 'normal' Singaporean girls and the other one is all for the SIA stewardess. They'll be very clear about this," Amy said.
She went on to mention that the SIA girls have "rates that are usually higher than normal Singaporean girls."
With the premium rates come higher expectations.
Amy added: "If the customer chooses an SIA stewardess, that means she'd have to maintain her standards. Similar to what she usually does as an air stewardess."
On top of that, the SIA girl is also expected to hold her liquor better than other KTV hostesses.
Ladies working in KTV lounges come from a plethora of countries including Singapore, but the Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese girls aged between 18 and 40 form the bulk of hostesses in the KTVs here, Amy said.
She has also seen a rise in the number of local hostesses at one particular KTV lounge as of late, adding: "Since the beginning of this year, the number of Singaporean hostesses has grown from zero to over 100."
This spike in numbers could be due to the lure of high earnings in a short period of time, she suggested.
A hostess can make between $300 and $500 per night from drinking with customers for three to four hours, but things do get physical in the rooms.
Depending on the customer's behaviour, a hostess' acceptance of his advances may range "from kissing to hugging, maybe touching each other to stripping," Amy shared.
A hostess' earnings for the night can go up to $1,000 if she "wants to go further to earn the extra tips" by offering "discreet services" outside KTVs.
Another method of stacking money fast is for a hostess to be a butterfly within the KTV lounge. This means that they will try to go to as many rooms and entertain as many customers as possible in one night.
Amy said: "The butterfly is usually done by the foreign hostesses. Usually, the local hostesses are more conservative and prefer to sit in the same room for the whole night."
As for Amy herself, she told AsiaOne that she has two children to take care of at home.
That's why the single mum felt that "being a hostess is a good job [for her] because the timings are flexible and the working hours are shorter."
Being a hostess is simply her doing her job, Amy said.
"You cannot control what other people think. As long as you feel that you are doing something decent, it's good enough."
Customers, on the other hand, do not seek money. Chances are, they have that in abundance.
While they usually spend at least $800 at a KTV lounge, Amy has seen instances where customers spend up to $7,000 to book one of the bigger rooms for the night.
Given how expensive a night out at the KTV is, it's no surprise that regular patrons are "bosses of companies or entrepreneurs running their own businesses."
Visiting the KTVs offers customers an escape from reality, Amy suggested.
"They probably don't have a very good relationship at home and they tend to seek happiness in the KTVs."
As nightlife outlets remain closed from March last year, many of these men have sought company at some KTV lounges that are operating illegally by pivoting the business to offering food and drinks.
With the inside knowledge, Amy shared how simple it was for a KTV lounge to continue operating as per normal.
"They turned themselves into somewhat of a bistro. If you visit the KTV, it became compulsory to order two staple food from the menu but the operations were still the same, you just needed to order the food," she said.
This eventually led to a Covid-19 cluster that emerged in July.
As a Vietnamese hostess was the first to test positive for the coronavirus, much of the blame was directed to fellow hostesses but Amy thinks it isn't fair.
"Everyone, including the hostesses and the customers, is responsible for the cluster. I still feel that this is something that can happen anywhere and not only at a KTV."

Hope that there will be another cluster with the index case being an SIA stewardess in a KTV lounge. And the virus spreads to SIA crew and Changi airport. See whether the government will close down SIA.
Wot kind of conversation do we discuss with SIA girls?
I will ask her to demo safety procedures over and over and over
No pick-up lines, no wonder you have no sex life.
"Do you miss the cockpit during lockdown? I have one here."
Now wonder the pappy fuckers don't want to delve into the matter. AssIA reputation is at stake here.
