Singapore has reported six more cases of a newly identified coronavirus, including four domestic transmissions, taking its tally of infections to 24, the health ministry of the southeast Asian city-state said on Tuesday.
The outbreak has killed more than 420 people, spread round the world and fuelled fears for global economic growth, with rival financial centre Hong Kong reporting its first coronavirus death on Tuesday, only the second outside mainland China.
"Though four of these cases constitute a local transmission cluster, there is as yet no evidence of widespread sustained community transmission in
Singapore," the health ministry said in a statement.
