As the number of daily Covid-19 cases grows, so does the list of places visited by Covid-19 patients while infectious, to little surprise.
While some may be nonchalant about the information, the fact that they include popular spots like Funan Mall and Raffles City Shopping Centre is worth our attention.

Though there’s no cause for alarm, members of the public who had visited these places within the specified dates and times should monitor their health.
Don’t hesitate to visit the doctor the moment you display any infection symptoms.
The implementation of SafeEntry requirements at all public venues has certainly helped improve contact tracing efforts.
Thanks to everyone’s participation, MOH reported only 1% of community cases as presently unlinked.
Hopefully, further investigations can help join the dots and reduce that percentage even more, till the day finally comes when we report zero community cases.
