> local non-imported cases in Singapore look like they've been increasing exponentially since at least the start of March MOH provided an annex[1] breaking down new cases by transmission type in the latest update. The data shows that local cases had been increasing, but they're in a slow decline - for now - and most of the new infections are in or related to dorms. 1. https://www.moh.gov.sg/docs/librariesprovider5/pressroom/press-releases/annex-a---infection-trends-broken-by-different-transmission-types-(final).pdf https://www.moh.gov.sg/docs/librariesprovider5/pressroom/pre...

That chart does not look reassuring. The infections in or related to dorms only showed up at the start of April, presumably in part because they started mass-testing those workers around then. The number of non-imported cases has been going up exponentially for much longer than that. Also, they're likely to have a much higher detection rate for those workers than everyone else right now given that's where testing attention is focused, so they probably make up a much lower proportion of actual infections than the figures suggest.
