As of 27 th April 2020, 6 LTCFs in Singapore have detected COVID-19 cases.

Despite these tough measures, COVID-19 still found its way into 6 nursing homes in Singapore (Figure 1 ). However, preventing COVID-19 transmission to LTCFs remains a challenge if community transmission is not well-controlled.
