The sole community case, known as Case 59280, is currently unlinked. The 32-year-old Singaporean man works as a para-veterinarian with the Singapore Police Force's K-9 Unit and his job mainly involves tele-consultations with dog handlers.
The man developed a fever on Jan 11 and sought treatment at a general practitioner clinic on the same day, where he was tested for COVID-19 as part of prevailing health protocols.
He had remained at home on medical leave until his result came back positive for COVID-19 infection on Jan 13 and he was taken in an ambulance to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID). His serological test result has come back negative, indicating that this is likely a current infection, said MOH.
