SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed the detection of 20 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore on Sunday (11 April), taking the country's total case count to 60,653.

There is one new case of locally transmitted COVID-19 infection, said the ministry in the news release. "Based on our investigations so far, the case resides in a dormitory and there are no new cases in the community," said MOH.

Additionally, there are also 19 new imported cases, all of whom have already been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) since their arrival in Singapore.

In its nightly update on Saturday, MOH said that the sole community case detected earlier that day was a 71-year-old female Indian national. The woman, a short-term visit pass holder and retiree, arrived in Singapore from India on 28 December last year and served her SHN at a dedicated facility until 10 January, during which time she tested negative for COVID-19.

She developed a fever on 5 April and was tested again when she sought medical treatment the next day. Her test result came back positive for COVID-19 on 8 April and she was then conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases. A subsequent test on 9 April showed she was negative for COVID-19 infection.

Her serological test result has come back positive, which is indicative of a past infection. She could be shedding minute fragments of the virus RNA, which are no longer transmissible and infective to others, said MOH. Her case is currently considered unlinked.

新加坡—卫生部（MOH）于周日（4月11日）确认在新加坡发现20例新的COVID-19感染病例，使该国的总病例数达到60,653。

卫生部在新闻稿中说，有一例新的本地传播的COVID-19感染病例。卫生部说：“根据我们到目前为止的调查，此案居住在一个宿舍内，社区中没有新的案件。”

此外，还有19例新进口病例，自从他们到达新加坡以来，所有这些病例都已被留在“留在家里通知书（SHN）”中。

在周六的每晚更新中，卫生部表示，当天早些时候发现的唯一社区病例是一名71岁的印度女性国民。该名妇女是短期访问通行证持有者和退休人员，于去年12月28日从印度抵达新加坡，并在专用设施内为她的性工作者提供服务，直到1月10日，在此期间她对COVID-19的检测均为阴性。

她于4月5日发烧，第二天就医时再次接受检查。她的检测结果于4月8日恢复为COVID-19阳性，然后被转送到国家传染病中心。随后的4月9日测试显示她的COVID-19感染呈阴性。

她的血清学检查结果恢复了阳性，表明过去曾感染过。卫生部说，她可能正在散播微小的病毒RNA片段，这种片段不再可以传播并且对其他人具有感染力。她的案子目前被认为是无关联的。
