SINGAPORE – Three seniors have died of Covid-19 complications, bringing the total death toll in the country to 55.
All had not been vaccinated against the virus, said the Health Ministry on Friday (Aug 27).
“Of these, two cases were non-ambulatory and had limited movement outside of their homes, but yet had been infected as unlinked cases,” said the ministry, in its nightly update.
The patients who died include an 80-year-old man who had no known medical conditions.
He tested positive on Aug 7 and was admitted to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital the same day. He died on Thursday.
A 70-year-old woman, who died on Friday, had been admitted to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) for an unrelated medical condition on Aug 11 and tested negative upon admission. Another test taken on Aug 17 came back positive.
