[SINGAPORE] TWO more Covid-19 patients have been linked to the cluster at the MINDSville @ Napiri Adult Disability Home, bringing the total number of patients in that cluster to 32.

Both were asymptomatic and fully vaccinated, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Monday (June 7).

They were among five new Covid-19 community cases reported on Monday - the lowest number of community infections since May 10, when there were three cases. All five patients have been linked to previously reported cases and all were already quarantined when they tested positive, said MOH.

Another two community cases are a 34-year-old man, a technical officer at Singapore Power who also works part-time as a barber at Atatcutz Singapore in Bedok, and a 39-year-old manager at Prudential Services Singapore. They have been linked to the Atatcutz Bedok barber shop cluster.

The last case is a 55-year-old administrative worker at Alco Engineering. She had received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and is linked to a previously reported patient - a 61-year-old female Singaporean who works at NTUC FairPrice in Clementi Avenue 3.

There are now six patients in this cluster. There were also nine imported cases on Monday who had been placed on stay-home notice on arrival in Singapore, said MOH. Of these, five are Singaporeans or permanent residents. In total, 14 new coronavirus cases were confirmed on Monday, taking Singapore's total to 62,210.
