“Based on the investigations thus far, there are no established epidemiological links showing that these healthcare workers were infected in the line of duty,” Mr Gan said. However, there is"one case in a private healthcare institution where we are unable to rule out a possible link between the doctor and a COVID-19 patient”, he said.
Among the linked cases, many were imported cases, cases due to household transmission, or linked to church clusters, Mr Gan noted. The minister was responding to chairman of Government Parliamentary Committee for Health Dr Chia Shi-Lu who asked how many healthcare workers have been infected by the COVID-19 virus and how many have been infected in their line of duty.
