Filipino woman becomes Singapore's third COVID-19 case

A 34-year-old Filipino woman became Singapore's third confirmed case of COVID-19 on Monday.

The patient is a domestic worker who tested positive for the virus, with no recent travel history to China or South Korea’s hotspots.

She works in the same household as two other cases and was hospitalized at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.

Another Filipino maid, linked to an e-learning company cluster, became the second case on February 29.

Due to rising concerns about COVID-19, some Filipino domestic workers are not allowed day-offs by their employers in Singapore.
