Add BT as a preferred source[SINGAPORE] There were 344 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore as at Monday noon, bringing the total number to 31,960.
Among these are four Singaporeans and permanent residents, while migrant workers living in dormitories form the bulk of the remaining cases.
The Ministry of Health said the lower number of cases on Monday was partly due to fewer tests being conducted.
More details will be released later in the day.
