“All were screened for the second sample on June 9 and were allowed to return home to continue the quarantine period as the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) came into effect from June 10, 2020.

According to the World Health Organisation guideline, COVID-19 confirmed cases which do not have symptoms for more than 10 days have no risk of transmission to others, from the date they were confirmed positive.
