On Wednesday (29 Jan), Hillion Mall in Bukit Panjang confirmed that there’s been a suspected case of the mysterious Wuhan virus at the shopping centre.

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.

However, the centre will remain open to accommodate parents who may still require their services.
