Tuesday's update brings the total number of Zika infections in Singapore to 275.
The ministry said that among these newly reported cases, 10 are linked to the Aljunied Crescent/ Sims Drive/ Kallang Way/ Paya Lebar Way cluster.
There is a potential new cluster involving one previously reported case and a new case on Tuesday, said the ministry. They both live in the Bishan Street 12 area. The other cases have no known links to any existing cluster.
