Majority of the recovered individuals in Singapore were warded and discharged from the NCID (as of 14 February 2020).

This entry breaks down the recovery patterns and profiles of the discharged COVID-19 individuals in Singapore. As of 18 February 2020, the recovery rate in Singapore stands at ~ 35.8%. This percentage is derived from the number of patients discharged (29) over the total number of cases (81).[1] The mortality rate in Singapore stands at 0% with no recorded deaths from COVID-19. However, there are 4 individuals warded in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as of 18 February 2020.[2] As this is a developing situation, the numbers and corresponding details will be updated accordingly as per the Ministry of Health's press releases.

Summary

Recovery benchmark & procedure

According to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), COVID-19 patients are tested daily. A patient is discharged when their test for COVID-19 returns negative.

Following discharge, the patient still has to follow strict medical procedures. They are to finish their prescribed medication (if given any) and they should wear a mask when in public. These patients should also monitor themselves for the next 14 days. If their condition worsens, they are advised to return to the screening centre.

List of recovered patients

As of 18 February 2020, 29 individuals have recovered from COVID-19. 11 of the 29 recovered patients are Chinese nationals, the rest are Singaporeans. For a full list of confirmed cases in Singapore, refer to COVID-19: Confirmed Cases in Singapore (2020).
