MOH said on Saturday that a resident staying at a migrant worker dormitory has become Singapore’s first likely case of COVID-19 re-infection.

"He was identified from rostered monitoring testing conducted as part of MOH’s surveillance of recovered workers to monitor their postinfection immunity," said the ministry.
