Centre manager Elaine Wong said the suspected patient was escorted to the ambulance’s pick-up point via a designated route to minimise exposure to other shoppers.

He was subsequently picked up and presumably brought to a hospital.

The route which the patient took has allegedly been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, noted Ms Wong.

Protective equipment were also used, in accordance with protocols set by the Ministry of Health when transporting the patient.

Hillion Mall takes precautionary measures for public safety

Since the incident, the shopping mall has also stepped up on precautionary measures, such as:

 
  • Increase frequency of cleaning the common areas and surfaces, such as sanitising and disinfecting escalators’ handrails, lift buttons, etc
  • Providing face masks to all staff and contractors
  • Carrying out daily temperature checks twice for all staff and contractors.

Ms Wong said they’ll share further updates if there’s been any development after this.

Childcare centre PCF Sparkletots advises parents

According to 8World News, management of PCF Sparkletots, also based in the mall, has informed parents not to send their kids to the childcare centre in light of the situation.
