Second ward in Tan Tock Seng Hospital locked down; 2 more staff members, 6 patients positive for COVID-19

Two more staff members of slotxo online เว็บเก๋าเจ้าแรกในประเทศไทย Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and six patients who were in Ward 9D have tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases in this COVID-19 cluster to nine.

They are linked to the nurse who was confirmed as a COVID-19 case on Wednesday.

The two staff members who tested positive are a 30-year-old doctor and an 18-year-old healthcare assistant trainee.

All the patients who tested positive are Singaporeans. Most of them are elderly, with the oldest being 94 years old.

This is Singapore's first COVID-19 hospital cluster and the largest active cluster currently.

In addition to Ward 9D, TTSH has now locked down Ward 7D as one of the COVID-19 cases had transferred from there.

"All close contacts of the cases, including patients, visitors and staff who have been in the affected wards, will also be placed on quarantine," said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Clinical surveillance for all inpatients who may develop fever and acute respiratory infection symptoms has been stepped up, it added.

As a precautionary measure, all patients and staff members in other TTSH wards will also be tested for COVID-19 infection, including those who are asymptomatic.
