The lone locally transmitted coronavirus case reported yesterday was from a workers' dormitory, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement last night.

The man was asymptomatic and the infection was detected through proactive surveillance, said MOH. The ministry added that his polymerase chain reaction test result indicated a low viral load. His close contacts at the dormitory and his workplace have been isolated and placed in quarantine.

There were nine cases in all confirmed yesterday, bringing Singapore's total to 58,239.

The other eight cases were imported. They comprised one Singaporean, two permanent residents (PRs), two work pass holders, two short-term pass holders and a dependant's pass holder.

The Singaporean and both PRs had returned from the United States. Both work pass holders were from Nepal, while both short-term visit pass holders arrived from Indonesia. The dependant's pass holder was an 18-year-old woman coming from France.

All eight cases were asymptomatic when tested, and all were placed on stay-home notices on arrival in Singapore and tested, said MOH.
