For citizens who’ve visited these locations at similar dates & timings, do monitor your health for the next 14 days.

Public areas visited by Covid-19 cases will be declared

Heartland locations where confirmed Covid-19 patients have visited for 30 min or longer will continue to be made known to the public.

The list of public locations currently excludes the following places:

  • Residence
  • Workplaces
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Public transport

The list will be updated on a “rolling basis” to facilitate contact tracing & aid the progress of “epidemiological investigations”.

Stay vigilant for respiratory symptoms

Visitors of these areas are reminded to see a doctor immediately if they develop any of these respiratory symptoms:

  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose
  • Fever
  • Loss of taste/smell

Patients should also inform their doctors of their “exposure history”, said MOH.

We wish all affected patients a swift recovery. We should also continue to adhere to social-distancing cues & mask regulations to minimise risks of transmission to our loved ones.

If you’ve visited any of these locations recently, do pay close attention to your health & well-being over the next 2 weeks.
