(Reuters) - Singapore has reported six more cases of a newly identified coronavirus, including four local transmissions, taking its tally of infections to 24, the health ministry of the southeast Asian city-state said on Tuesday.
"Though four of these cases constitute a local transmission cluster, there is as yet no evidence of widespread sustained community transmission in Singapore," the ministry said in a statement.
The four cases were linked to a health products shop that primarily serves Chinese tourists, it added.
The other two infections were in Singapore residents evacuated on Thursday from the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have surfaced late last year in a market selling illegal wildlife.
Earlier, Singapore had reported 18 cases of the virus, all with a history of recent travel to Wuhan.

Just repeating the excerpt which explains the numbers. No reason to panic, get anxious or depressed:

Agree. My plan was to panic, starting a week from Wednesday, but I may have to push that day up a bit.
And the genie.
Bkmk

Either these people were in very close proximity or Hot and Humid isn’t preventing infections.
