As of Wednesday (Aug 12), 52,425 out of 323,000 workers had contracted the Covid virus.
Professor Alex cook, the vice-dean of research at the National University of Singapore’s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health stated: ” Until the results of serological studies become available, we can’t tell whether infections are just a little more than 52,000 and we identified almost all of the cases, or whether there are four or five times as many infections as cases.”
