Geylang Durian Stall & Toa Payoh Spa Visited By Covid-19 Patients, Visitors Advised To Monitor Health

Durian 36 Stall In Geylang Visited By Covid-19 Patient On 23 Jun Night

With the durian season and Phase 2 of reopening upon us, the timing seems relatively ‘ripe’ for Singaporeans to feast on their favourite fruit once again.

One person recently diagnosed with Covid-19 probably had the same train of thought and visited a durian stall in Geylang.

On Monday (29 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) added the stall to the list of public spaces visited by Covid-19 patients, advising those who visited the location at the specific timing to keep an eye on their health.

“Close contacts” already notified

In the press release, MOH also assured members of the public that those identified as “close contacts” have already received notifications.

That said, they urged those who visited the locations at the stipulated timings to monitor their health for the next 14 days, and to see a doctor ASAP should they develop respiratory symptoms.

The health ministry also said that there is no need for members of the public to avoid the place visited by the confirmed patients as they’d have already undergone cleaning and disinfection.

More places will be visited by Covid-19 patients as social activities resume

As more social activities resume as part of Phase 2, we can only expect more places to be visited by Covid-19 patients.

If you happen to have visited the mentioned places above at the specified timings, please be extra mindful about your health and seek medical treatment immediately should you develop symptoms.
