Given the relatively long time interval between his travel and positive Covid-19 test, we have classified this case as locally transmitted.

Antigen Rapid Test to be compulsory at Tuas & Woodlands checkpoints from Jan. 22, 2021

In a bid to manage growing risk of imported cases of Covid-19, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) has announced that Antigen Rapid Test (ART) will be made compulsory for all travellers from Jan. 22 onwards.
From Jan. 22, 9am, ART will be rolled out at Tuas and Woodlands checkpoint progressively for cargo drivers and accompanying personnel entering Singapore.
Tested drivers and personnel with a negative result may proceed to enter Singapore.
As cargo drivers and accompanying personnel could have interactions with the local community in Singapore, introducing an on-arrival ART will allow the identification of potential Covid-19 cases and mitigate the risk further, MTI said.
This will ensure public health and safety while allowing a smooth passage of goods between Singapore and Malaysia.
MTI also advised businesses to maintain close communications with their logistic providers and cater for possible delays.
Businesses, cargo drivers, and accompanying personnel must also continue to abide by Safe Management Measures, including contactless delivery, wearing of masks, and safe distancing, MTI added.

Three of the four community cases reported yesterday were linked to a cluster at BS Industrial Construction and Supply, said the Health Ministry last night.
There are now seven Covid-19 cases in the cluster.
The first to be recorded was a sales person who tested positive on Jan 18.
The total number of community cases continues to rise, with 21 in the past seven days, compared with three in the previous seven.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has also increased to six in the past seven days from one in the previous seven.
Two of the new cases in the cluster lived in the same households as infected employees from BS Industrial Construction and Supply.
One, a 43-year-old Singaporean woman, is the spouse of the 39-year-old permanent resident who was the first case.
She works as an online trader and does not physically interact with her clients. She tested positive on Jan 20.
The second is a 46-year-old Malaysian work pass holder who works in sales at Toppan Merrill in Church Street. She also does not interact directly with clients. She lives with a 28-year-old finance employee at BS Industrial Construction and Supply who tested positive on Jan 20.
The third new case in the cluster is a 35-year-old permanent resident who also works in sales at BS Industrial Construction and Supply. He developed a sore throat on Jan 18 but did not seek medical treatment. He tested positive for the infection on Jan 20 while in quarantine.
The final community case is unlinked. He is a 42-year-old Singaporean who works as a diver at Ocean Works Asia. He is asymptomatic, and his infection was detected when he took a test as part of the requirement for shore-based personnel.
There were also 34 imported cases yesterday, taking Singapore's total to 59,235.
Of these, 33 had been placed on stay-home notices on arrival in Singapore.
The 34th, a permanent resident who was in Singapore for work, tested negative upon arrival on Sunday and was on a controlled itinerary during his stay here. He subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 infection on Wednesday. - THE STRAITS TIMES
