(Reuters UK) - Singapore’s health ministry confirmed 596 new coronavirus infections on Sunday, taking the total number of cases in the city-state to 6,588.
The vast majority of the new cases are migrant workers living in dormitories and 25 are permanent residents, the health ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
Singapore overtook Indonesia in coronavirus infections and now has the most cases in Southeast Asia after the city-state detected hundreds more victims among low-wage foreign workers.
With the new tally, Singapore moved ahead of Indonesia, which now has 6,575 cases, and the Philippines with 6,259 cases.
