There are 17 COVID-19 cases linked to Cochrane Lodge II, the eighth such dorm gazetted as an isolation area here.
In an online notice on the Government Gazette late Sunday night , the MOH said that Blocks A to E at Cochrane Lodge II, located at 49 Admiralty Road West, will be isolated from Monday under the Infectious Diseases Act.The other seven isolated dorms are the S11 Dormitory@Punggol, Westlite Toh Guan Dormitory, Toh Guan Dormitory, Sungei Tengah Lodge, Tampines Dormitory, Cochrane Lodge I and Acacia Lodge.
Other dorms that have been identified as active clusters include Kranji Lodge, a dormitory at 55 Sungei Kadut Loop, a dormitory at 31 Sungei Kadut Avenue, Shaw Lodge, Westlite Woodlands Dormitory, North Coast Lodge and Cassia@Penjuru. On the other hand, while the number of imported cases rose around mid-March due to a large number of returnees then, it has since come down to zero, he added.
“We will only see the full effects of the circuit breaker in the next one to two weeks. So let's press on with our efforts to stay home, minimise contact with others, and break the transmission chain in our community.”Workers who are healthy would be separated from those who are infected or suspected to have the virus.
