The sole locally transmitted Covid-19 case yesterday was a Singaporean woman who tested positive before a scheduled cruise trip, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

The ministry said that on Dec 14, the 39-year-old woman and her family had gone on a Southern Islands tour with two other families, and that their group comprised 12 people.

This is seven more than the group of five allowed in phase two after the circuit breaker.

MOH said investigations are ongoing to assess if there was any breach of the relevant safe management measures.

The woman, who was asymptomatic, was taken in an ambulance to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases the day after her test when it returned positive for Covid-19.

The woman lives in Jurong West Street 93 and went to work at Ruising Chemicals at 18 Boon Lay Way before her test result was confirmed.
