- Seletar Mall
- The Bedok Market Place

Since 1 Jul, the Ministry of Health’s Public Places Visited by Cases in the Community during Infectious Period list now has 77 entries.

No need to avoid places visited by Covid-19 patients
MOH assured that they have already informed those who are identified as close contacts of confirmed cases.
For precaution, those who have visited the aforementioned locations during the specified timings must monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit.
However, there is no need to avoid places where Covid-19 patients had visited, says MOH. The National Environment Agency (NEA) will provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection to management of the affected premises.
Let’s not forget Covid-19 crisis still around
With 77 entries since 1 Jul, MOH’s list likely won’t stop growing. The only thing we can do is take precaution and try to stay home as much as possible.
While we are undoubtedly happy that we have the freedom to dine in and hang out, let’s not forget that we’re still living in a pandemic crisis.
So do adhere to safe distancing, and take care when you’re leaving the house.
