SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 249 new COVID-19 infections as of noon on Wednesday (Jul 15), including 16 cases in the community and five imported cases, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in its preliminary update.

This brings the total number of cases in the country to 46,878.


All the community cases involve work pass holders. Four of them were close contacts of earlier cases and had already been placed on quarantine, said MOH.

Epidemiological investigations are ongoing for the other cases.

The five imported cases had been placed on stay-home notice upon their arrival in Singapore, MOH said.

The rest of the new cases are work permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories

How many are actually sick?

I agree. Most infected cases are asymptomatic. We should let everybody go about doing their usual business and return to their usual way of life to mitigate the recession rate.

If all the community cases involve work pass holders, then the situation is ok.

Try not to interact with foreigners during this period.
