The_King Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 SINGAPORE - An 88-year-old Singaporean woman, who was part of the Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) Covid-19 cluster, died from complications due to the infection on Saturday (May 1). The Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Saturday night the woman, case 62573, had been warded in Ward 9D from April 14, and was confirmed to have Covid-19 on April 28. She had a history of cancer, hypertension, congestive cardiac failure, stroke and hyperlipidaemia. The National Centre for Infectious Diseases has contacted her family and is extending assistance to them. Separately, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said that Edgefield Secondary School will shift to home-based learning (HBL) next week, after one of its students tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday (April 30). MOE said on Saturday the student was last in school on Thursday, April 29, with acute respiratory infection symptoms, and had immediately consulted a doctor. Students, staff and external vendors who had been in close contact with the student will be placed under quarantine, and the school premises will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, said the Ministry. All other students, staff and external vendors will need to be swabbed for the coronavirus. MOE said the move to full HBL from May 4 to May 7 is because it would take some time to complete and receive the results of the Covid-19 swab tests. May 3 is a school holiday. "During the week, Edgefield Secondary School will continue to provide instruction and support for its students both online and using hardcopy materials, so that learning continues uninterrupted. Teachers will also keep in regular contact with students and parents," said MOE. It added: "Pending their test results, all those involved in the Edgefield Secondary School Covid-19 swab testing should also minimise contact with others and avoid crowded places as a precautionary measure." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/ttsh-patient-dies-of-covid-19-edgefield-secondary-school-student-tests-positive-for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
