Earlier Tuesday, the Health Ministry reported the country’s first death from the virus, a 69-year-old man who recently went to Australia to seek cancer treatment and stopped in Singapore for a few days on the way back.
The patient died of acute respiratory distress syndrome with septic shock and severe community-acquired pneumonia as a result of the COVID-19 virus.
The National Health Laboratory said 66 other people had tested negative for the virus.
