Two days ago employees of a supermarket located in Hougang had to close temporarily after several employees were found exposed to the virus and have been tested positive for COVID-19.
Here is what Giant posted on Facebook:
17 Aug 2021: [Advisory] Temporary store closure at Giant – Hougang 683 store – Hougang Avenue 8 #01-903/905/907
Dear Customers,
We have been informed that a few of our employees who work at our Hougang 683 store have tested positive for COVID-19 and have since been isolated. Team members who have been identified as close contacts have been placed on Quarantine Order (QO) while the rest of our team members who have worked at the store in the last 7 days have been asked to remain home and instructed to closely monitor their health during the next 14 days.
In line with NEA’s guidelines, the store has been closed immediately for deep cleaning to be carried out. We will reopen as soon as we possibly can, please check our FB page for updates on when we will resume business.
The team members who have tested positive for COVID are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic, and this was picked up through the stringent routine testing we conduct for all our store team members.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and continue to remain vigilant in providing a safe and healthy environment for our customers and employees.
In the meantime for your grocery needs, please visit our next nearest store at Hougang Green Shopping Mall, 21 Hougang Street 51 #01-52 Singapore 538719, or online at Giant.sg.We thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime, as we offer our full support to our impacted team members and look forward to their recovery.
