The case had visited the GV between 11.40pm-1.40am.
However, there’s no need to avoid the locations as management will have cleaned and disinfected the premises.
Regardless, for those who were there at the same time as the cases, they should monitor their health for 14 days from the date of visit.
Wishing cases speedy recovery
We hope that the cases can make a speedy recovery from Covid-19.
Meanwhile, as unlinked community cases are still prevalent, we can all do our part by using SafeEntry to check in and out of places, as well as adhere to safe distancing guidelines.
Stay vigilant this NDP weekend, and while we enjoy the festivities, we should also remember that we’re still in the midst of a pandemic.
However, with everyone’s efforts, we can overcome it together.
