SINGAPORE, May 18 (The Straits Times/ANN): In less than two weeks, the Changi Airport cluster has emerged as the country's largest community cluster to date - second only to the outbreak in the worker dormitories - with a total of 78 Covid-19 cases linked to it.

What is even more worrying is how the virus has hit a large number of elderly workers, as much as it has also infiltrated visitors to public places within the airport.
