A two-year-old Singaporean girl who returned from Nepal on Sept 25 was among five imported Covid-19 cases reported yesterday, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Among the others were a 31-year-old French engineer, who arrived from France on Monday for a short-term work project, and a 32-year-old Japanese national, who arrived on Tuesday.

The three were tested while they were serving their 14-day stay-home notices.

None had symptoms.

The remaining two imported cases were crew members of a ship that arrived from Malaysia on Sept 23.

They did not disembark and were isolated after one of them was confirmed to have Covid-19.
