The Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Sunday (August 16) that two shopping malls in Bukit Panjang, Northpoint City, Newton Food Centre and Hillion Mall were visited by Covid-19 cases during their infectious period:
- Bukit Panjang Plaza on Aug 4 between 8.15pm and 9pm, and again on Aug 6 between 6.30pm and 8.40pm
- Northpoint City on Aug 7 between 6pm and 8pm
- Newton Food Centre on Aug 7 between 10.30pm and 12.30am
- Hillion Mall on Aug 12 between 2pm and 2.30pm, and again between 8pm and 8.30pm
The ministry has already notified the individuals that they have identified as close contacts of the cases.
MOH added: “As a precautionary measure, persons who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit.”
They also said: “They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history.”
There is also no need to avoid the places visited by the confirmed cases because the National Environment Agency will engage the management of the affected places to help advise on disinfection.
