SINGAPORE, July 10 — Singapore reported 191 new cases of COVID-19 infection in the last 24 hours, bringing the infection tally to 45,613 cases.

According to the brief noon data released by its Ministry of Health (MOH) today, there were 16 cases in the community involving seven locals or permanent residents and nine work pass holders.

From its preliminary investigations, of these 16 cases, eight were close contacts of earlier cases and have already been placed under quarantine.

“Epidemiological investigations are ongoing for the other cases,” it said.

In addition, MOH said there was one imported case who had been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore.
