SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Sunday (18 July) reported the detection of 92 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, taking the country's total case count to 63,073.
Of the new cases, 88 are local transmissions – of which 23 are part of the growing KTV cluster and 37 are linked to the Jurong Fishery port cluster, said MOH in a news release. This brings the number of cases in the KTV cluster to 171.
Thirty of the local cases are linked to past cases and have already been placed on quarantine, while 41 are linked to previous cases and were detected through surveillance.
Seventeen of the new cases are currently unlinked. Among the new cases are also four seniors above the age of 70, who are at risk of serious illness, said MOH.
There are also four imported cases, all of whom have been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) or isolated upon arrival in Singapore. One case was detected upon arrival, while three developed the illness during SHN or isolation.
In its update on Saturday, MOH said that of the 68 infections detected that day, 29 were linked to the KTV lounge cluster.
Six more KTV lounges or clubs were also added to the cluster, bringing the total number of such premises with likely ongoing transmission to 15. The new outlets listed were:
