Another three Covid-19 clusters have emerged, as Singapore reported a record high of 120 new cases yesterday.
Of the total, only four are imported, which means the patients were infected while overseas.
The remaining 116 are local cases and mainly foreign workers.
Two are healthcare workers, including a 35-year-old doctor at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said yesterday.
She had not gone to work since the onset of symptoms and has been admitted to an isolation room at Singapore General Hospital.
The second is a 27-year-old Indian national and Singapore work pass holder who has been admitted to an isolation room at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, where he is employed as a technician.
He had been at work for less than an hour after the onset of symptoms.
The latest numbers bring the total number of cases here to 1,309.
Of the three new clusters identified, two are dormitories - Tampines Dormitory at 2 Tampines Place and Cochrane Lodge I at 51 Admiralty Road West.
The third is a construction site at 6 Battery Road.
Fifty of the 116 new local cases are linked to previous cases or clusters, while 66 cases are unlinked, and contact-tracing efforts are ongoing, said MOH.
Twenty-two of the new cases were added to the cluster at S11 Dormitory @ Punggol, which now has 63 confirmed cases.
