SINGAPORE - Five primary school pupils have tested positive for the virus after attending classes run by an infected tuition teacher at Learning Point - an enrichment centre located in Parkway Centre.
They are two boys, aged seven and nine, from St Stephen's school; a nine-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy from Kong Hwa School; and a nine-year-old boy from St Andrew's Junior School.
Their teacher is a 50-year-old woman who was confirmed to have the infection on Wednesday (May 12).
The five children were among the 24 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the community reported by the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday.
They make up a new cluster - one of two reported Friday.
The other new cluster surfaced after a fully vaccinated employee at Unity Pharmacy tested positive.
His infection has been linked to that of an operating theatre nurse at Sengkang General Hospital.
This cluster currently has three patients, the last of whom is a seven-year-old pupil at Yio Chu Kang Primary School.
Singapore now has 13 active clusters.
Thirteen of the other community cases have been linked to the Changi Airport cluster, taking the total number of patients in it to 59.
