Majority of the recovered individuals in Singapore were warded and discharged from the NCID.

This entry breaks down the recovery patterns and profiles of the discharged COVID-19 individuals in Singapore. As of 20 March 2020, the recovery rate in Singapore stands at ~ 31.6%. This percentage is derived from the number of patients discharged (144) over the total number of cases (455).[1] The mortality rate in Singapore stands at ~ 0.4% with 2 recorded deaths from COVID-19. There are 14 individuals warded in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as of 23 March 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.
