The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that the work pass holder did not have any symptoms and was placed on stay-home notice upon her arrival in Singapore where she was tested for the coronavirus.
There were no cases in the wider community, the ministry added.
Overall, the number of new cases in the community has remained low with a total of two in the past week — both of the infected persons have no known links to other cases.
The ministry has also been monitoring existing clusters at foreign worker dormitories for any further transmission of the coronavirus.
“As there have been no more cases linked to the cluster at Homestay Lodge for the past two incubation periods, the cluster has now been closed,” it said.
