The Ministry of Health (MOH) shared on Monday (25 May) that they’ll be announcing heartland locations where confirmed Covid-19 patients have visited for 30 min or longer.
Jurong Point – a popular megamall – had 2 locations listed:
This is to facilitate contact tracing and to aid the progress of “epidemiological investigations”.
The locations will be updated on a “rolling basis” according to a 14-day incubation period.
On 20 & 21 May, an unstated number of confirmed Covid-19 community cases visited these places at Jurong Point.
It can be observed that both visitations were made in the late afternoon to early evening — considered peak hours to visit the supermarket or public areas.
The public has been advised to offset their visits to avoid similar peak timings.
MOH confirms that “close contacts” of these confirmed cases have already “been notified”.
As for citizens who’ve visited Jurong Point at similar dates & timings, they should monitor their health closely for the next 14 days from their date of visit.

Patients should also inform their doctors of their “exposure history”, said MOH.
We hope that all affected patients will have a swift recovery and that everyone continues to adhere to social distancing cues & mask regulations.
As for those who had visited these 2 locations recently, do pay close attention to the health & well-being of your loved ones in the next 2 weeks.
