Case 62685
Case 62685 is a 19 year-old female Singapore Permanent Resident who is a student at Singapore Management University (SMU). She has been attending classes virtually, except for a physical visit to SMU on 21 April.
She arrived from India on 28 December 2020, and served SHN at a dedicated facility. While she was serving SHN, she had been identified as a close contact of Case 58784 during their flight to Singapore, and was placed on quarantine from 29 December to 11 January 2021. Her test taken on 8 January during quarantine was negative for COVID-19.
She is asymptomatic, and was detected when she took a COVID-19 pre-departure test on 28 April in preparation for a trip. Her test result came back positive the next day, and she was conveyed to Changi General Hospital in an ambulance. Her Ct value was very high, which is indicative of a low viral load, and her serology test result has come back positive. She could be shedding minute fragments of the virus RNA from a past infection which are no longer transmissible and infective to others, but given that we are not able to definitively conclude when she had been infected, we will take all the necessary public health actions as a precautionary measure.
