She developed a headache on 2 April 2021 and shortness of breath on 4 April, and was tested for COVID-19 when she sought medical treatment on 4 April. Her test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection on the same day and she was warded at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. Another test conducted by the National Public Health Laboratory on 5 April was negative for COVID-19 infection. Her serological test result has come back positive, which is indicative of a past infection. She could be shedding minute fragments of the virus RNA, which are no longer transmissible and infective to others, but given that we are not able to definitively conclude when she had been infected, we will take all the necessary public health actions as a precautionary measure.
