SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): While the number of Covid-19 cases in the community has fallen in recent days, the number of unlinked cases has not come down, suggesting that there is a 'larger, hidden reservoir' of cases, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday (April 21).
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has called on Singaporeans to stay home as far as possible, urging those who have to go out to do so alone.- ST
Singapore has seen a spike in cases recently, mainly driven by an outbreak among foreign workers staying in dormitories. Speaking at a press conference after Lee's address, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said the number of unlinked cases in the community currently averages about 20 a day. "We are now at the midpoint of the circuit breaker measures. It is therefore very critical for all of us to put in extra effort in safe distancing so that we can break the transmission and further reduce the number of cases in the community."
