Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 29) — Another Filipino in Singapore has tested positive for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Singapore Ministry of Health reported Saturday.
The latest patient is a 41-year-old female domestic worker with no recent travel history to China or Daegu and Cheongdo in South Korea, the ministry said. She was confirmed to be infected Saturday morning and is currently staying in an isolation room at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. She is one of the four new confirmed cases in Singapore on Saturday and the second case involving a Filipino in the country.
The Filipina’s employer, a 61-year-old male Singapore Citizen, has also been infected. He is staying in the same hospital, the ministry noted.
This comes six days after the Foreign Affairs Department confirmed the first Filipino who tested positive for COVID-19 in Singapore. The DFA has yet to issue a statement on this recent case.
