More worryingly, she reported for work a day before testing positive.
According to 8World News, Ngee Ann City issued a notice to tenants on Tuesday (24 Mar) confirming that an employee working on the first floor of the shopping mall has tested positive for Covid-19.
Prior to her diagnosis, the Covid-19 patient apparently reported for work on Monday (23 Mar).
6 other employees in Fendi are now serving a 14-day quarantine at home.
In light of the diagnosis, Fendi’s store in Ngee Ann City will be closed until Thursday (26 Mar).
