SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 301 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Thursday (Aug 6), the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in its preliminary daily update.
Four cases were in the community, consisting of three Singaporeans or permanent residents and one work pass holder, and there were four imported cases.
The remaining cases were linked to foreign worker dormitories, bringing the national total to 54,555 infections.
"We continue to aggressively test the final batch of dormitory residents, and remain on track to clear all the dormitories by Aug 7, except for a few standalone blocks in the dormitories that serve as quarantine facilities," the ministry added.
"Depending on the prevalence of COVID-19 at the remaining dormitories whose residents are being tested, the daily case counts may vary.
"We expect the number to remain volatile in the coming days, before tapering down thereafter as the Inter-agency Taskforce completes the dormitory clearance."
The ministry will provide more details later on Thursday.

All this counting of cases is absolutely pointless because as far as I can see nobody is actually sick.

Let's save some time:

Leongsam: How many are actually sick?

TFBH: How many are infectious?

Maybe the test is faulty. Too many positive cases with no symptoms.

Very good chance for 55k on SG55 NDP.

Do you suspect false positive.. The test kit already infected but thinking it is clean.. Or the whole testing system can't differentiate the virus at all.

Why try to test some fruit juice to see if can get positive too?
