There were 21 new confirmed coronavirus cases yesterday, taking Singapore's total to 57,627.

They included one imported case - a work permit holder who had returned from India on Sept 10. She was placed on a 14-day stay-home notice on arrival in Singapore, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

There were no community cases for the second day in a row, and also no new locations and clusters.

IDENTIFIED

Migrant workers staying in dormitories accounted for the remaining 20 new coronavirus patients.

Among them, six were identified as contacts of previous cases and had been quarantined to prevent further transmission.

They were tested during their quarantine period, the ministry said.
