As of 10 October 2021, 12pm, the Ministry of Health has detected a total of 2,809 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, with 2,176 in the community, 631 in the migrant worker dormitories and 2 imported cases.
The fall in the number of cases today is likely due to fewer swabs being done over the weekend at Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) and polyclinics, and is not indicative that the epidemic curve is bending.
9 more cases have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection.Â
Of these, 8 were male Singaporeans and 1 was a female Singaporean, aged between 70 and 88 years. Amongst them, 4 had been unvaccinated against COVID-19, 3 had been partially vaccinated and 2 had been vaccinated.
All of them had various underlying medical conditions.Â
