*CLUSTER LINKED TO ICA OFFICER *

As of Tuesday, there were 11 cases linked to this cluster. The first case detected in this cluster was a 38-year-old Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer deployed at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

The 38-year-old Singaporean developed a cough on Apr 23 and sought medical treatment the next day at a general practitioner clinic, where he was given two days' medical leave. He had gone for rostered routine testing a day before, and the result was negative.

On Apr 25, the officer gathered for a meal with seven of his family members. The next day, he developed a fever, anosmia - the loss of the sense of smell - and body aches.

He sought medical treatment at Tan Tock Seng Hospital on Apr 27, and he was tested for COVID-19. His test came back positive on the same day. ICA confirmed that the officer had earlier registered to be vaccinated, but was advised by a doctor that he was not eligible due to his drug allergy.

On Apr 29, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said that seven family members of the ICA officer have tested positive, including his three-year-old nephew.

CLUSTER LINKED TO COMMUNITY CARE FACILITY

There are four cases linked to this cluster. The first case detected was a 39-year-old Vietnamese woman, a cleaner deployed at a community care facility at Tuas South. She was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Apr 28.

There are five cases linked to this cluster.

The first case detected was a 34-year-old Indian national who works as a senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore. The man travelled to India from Dec 28 to Mar 21, said MOH.

He started to develop symptoms from Apr 12, including fatigue, a sore throat, body aches and a fever. He stayed at home on Apr 13, before seeking medical treatment at a polyclinic the next day, where he was tested for COVID-19.

He was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Apr 15. Three of the other cases in this cluster are household contacts, including a four-year-old girl, while the remaining one case is a workplace contact.
