(Tan Tock Seng Hospital / MANILA BULLETIN)
In a social media post, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) said it will temporarily “cease admissions” to focus on containing the clustering of cases in the hospital.
Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) said there are 40 COVID-19 cases linked to TTSH as of May 4.
A report from Channel News Asia said TTSH is Singapore’s “first hospital COVID-19 cluster,” and currently the country’s “largest active COVID-19 cluster.”
So far, four of the hospital’s wards namely 7D, 9C, 9D, and 10B are on lockdown.

The clustering of cases in TTHS first surfaced on April 28 after the MOH reported that a 46-year-old Filipina nurse tested positive for COVID-19.
