Six imported cases of the coronavirus were confirmed in Singapore yesterday, including two children, aged one and three, who returned from India on Sept 15.

The remaining four cases were a permanent resident and a work pass holder who had both returned from India on Sept 16, a work pass holder from France and a work permit holder from the Philippines, said the Ministry of Health.

All six imported cases were serving stay-home notices when they tested positive for Covid-19.

One of them had gone to work at Changi Airport.

Both community cases were detected as part of routine surveillance and screening.

The remaining three cases were detected through surveillance testing.
