The Ministry of Health (MOH) announced three new coronavirus clusters on Friday (April 3), including one at night club Ce La Vi in Marina Bay Sands, which is now linked to four cases.
The other two are a new cluster at the Singapore Cricket Club now linked to six cases, and a new cluster at a construction site in the Raffles Place area which has four confirmed cases.
The construction site is located at Project Glory at 50 Market Street, which was where Golden Shoe Car Park previously was.
There were 65 new cases confirmed as of Friday noon, bringing the total number of cases to 1,114.
The number of new imported cases has continued to be lower than locally transmitted ones, with just nine announced on Friday who had recently travelled to Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asean.
Of the 56 local cases, 40 are linked to previous cases or clusters, while 16 are currently unlinked. This brings the total number of unlinked local cases to 127.
