The information in that Facebook post is not true.
No child died from COVID-19 at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) as of 14 August.
Here is what MOH said:
“The Ministry of Health would like to call out a Facebook post circulating online that a three-year-old preschooler has died from COVID-19 at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), and that this death was deliberately not reported.
This is completely untrue and a total fabrication. As of 14 August, there has been no child who has died from COVID-19 at KKH. We urge the public to refrain from spreading rumours and misinformation.”
