Another 34 cases have been added to the growing list linked to KTV lounges, as Singapore braces itself for what could be its biggest active cluster yet outside migrant worker dormitories.

SINGAPORE - Another 34 cases were added to the growing cluster linked to KTV karaoke lounges on Thursday (July 15), as Singapore braces itself for what could be its biggest active cluster yet outside migrant worker dormitories.
The cluster, which currently stands at 88, could have an impact far beyond just the nightlife industry, with knock-on effects on the wider food and beverage (F&B) scene, as well as the country s re-opening plans.
From Monday (July 12), cases have been progressively identified from visitors to 11 KTV lounges by the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The ministry said it was investigating a group of Vietnamese social hostesses who had frequented these lounges, as well as their close contacts.
