There were three new coronavirus cases reported yesterday, all of which were imported, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said last night.
This takes Singapore's total to 58,242.
The cases comprise one Singaporean, one permanent resident (PR) and one short-term visit pass holder. All three had arrived here from India.
The short-term visit pass holder is a nine-year-old boy who is in Singapore to seek medical treatment for an existing condition which is unrelated to Covid-19, said the ministry.
MOH said that he was conveyed to the hospital by ambulance on arrival in Singapore and isolated.
The Singaporean is a 57-year-old man who suffered onset of symptoms on Wednesday, while the PR is a 58-year-old man who was asymptomatic.
They were both placed on stay-home notices on arrival in Singapore and tested during their SHN.
There were no locally transmitted cases yesterday, said MOH.
The number of new cases in the community has remained low, said the ministry, with a total of four cases in the past week which are currently unlinked.
