The nation’s Ministry of Health said the 88-year-old male permanent resident, who was admitted to intensive care on March 30, passed away after developing serious complications. The man had a history of heart and kidney disease.
On April 03, health authorities confirmed 65 new cases of Covid-19 infections, with a new cluster at the Singapore Cricket Club.
