The Straits Times outlines the details of the 43 cases of coronavirus in Singapore so far.
On Jan 23, the Ministry of Health reported the first case of coronavirus in Singapore. As of Feb 9, there have been a total of 43 cases, of which 22 are locally transmitted, the ministry said.
The early patients were tourists from Wuhan. In the past week, local transmissions started appearing and now exceed imported ones.
As of Feb 9, six patients have been discharged – five China nationals and one Singaporean, who had been evacuated from Wuhan. But six patients – up from four on Feb 8 – are in critical care.
An analysis by The Straits Times shows that of the 43 so far:
* 26 patients are male and 17 female
* 16 are visitors from China, 22 are Singaporeans, two are Singapore permanent residents, one is a domestic worker from Indonesia, and two are Singapore work pass holders, one from China and the other from Bangladesh
* The median age of all patients is 41 years. The median for Singaporeans is 43.5 years and for China nationals is 37.5 years
* The youngest is six months old and the oldest 73 years old; there is also one teenager – a 17-year-old boy
* Five of the 43 are under the age of 30
* Eleven are in their 50s. Coincidentally, five are aged 56
Four clusters of patients have since emerged:
1. Scoot flight on Jan 30 that evacuated 92 Singaporeans in Wuhan: So far, four passengers have tested positive for the virus (Cases 15, 17, 22 and 23)
2. Yong Thai Hang health products store in Cavan Road: It was visited by a tour group from Guangxi, China, on Jan 23. So far, 10 patients have traceable links to that visit (Cases 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 34 and 40)
