Categorising cases helps to curb spread of COVID-19 more effectively: Medical expert

Singapore has four categories: Imported cases, community cases, migrant workers residing in dormitories and those living outside of dormitories.

This will help them to devise more cost-effective tools or approaches to prevent virus transmission and new cases.
