The average daily number of notified cases for the first week from 1 Oct was 200 and this dropped to 90 in the second week. Over the past 7 days, the daily average number of cases was 61. We are continuing to see an encouraging decrease in the number of cases. Hospitalised cases have also dropped significantly. As at 12 noon on 19 October, this numbered 3, compared to 33 on 4 Oct.
All cases are mild and in stable condition.
This current situation shows that the control measures taken have been effective in reducing the transmission of the disease. However, we would like to urge the public and all schools to continue to co-operate and remain vigilant so that the situation will continue to improve further.
