SINGAPORE, May 22 (Reuters): A Covid-19 outbreak at Singapore's airport may have initially spread through a worker who helped an infected family arriving in the country, authorities said late on Friday (May 21), as they further ramped up their testing regime.

The airport cluster which involves about 100 cases, is part of a resurgence of infections in the Asian business hub and highlights the challenges of keeping the virus out, despite rigorous testing and quarantine measures for travelers. It is Singapore's largest active cluster.
