Anyone who’s had contact with Vietnamese social hostesses in any setting from 29 Jun to 12 Jul is also encouraged to come for testing.

These days, it’s much easier to get tested than before, even if one may show no or mild symptoms.
Self-testing kits are available at various locations.
If you work in a high-risk environment which may involve a lot of human traffic, do get self-testing kits and test yourself regularly.
