Lastly, McDonald’s Bukit Batok (632 Bukit Batok Central) was visited from 5.30-6.30pm on 15 Aug.

Monitor health as precaution if you visited

Close contacts of the cases will have been notified by MOH.

If you’re not a close contact, but still visited the locations, you’re advised to monitor your health for 14 days from the day of visit.

See a doctor if you start experiencing symptoms of acute respiratory illness, and let them know about your exposure history.

For members of the public, there’s no need to avoid the locations in the list.

The premises will have been cleaned and disinfected by management.

He works in a role that doesn’t interact with the public, commuters, and bus captains.

Although more than 14,800 staff and close contacts were tested, just 10 tested positive.

Of these 10, 7 of them returned positive for serological tests – including the 39-year-old – possibly indicating past infections.

5 more results are pending, and tests are completed as of 18 Aug.

Remember to observe safe distancing rules

Recently, more cases of groups gathering above the upper limit of 5 persons have been spotted.

This has caused inconvenience for F&B operators, some of whom were suspended and fined for allowing these groups to gather.

One case at Hai Xian Lao even involved a group of more than 20 seated together, landing the restaurant in hot soup.

The rules are strict for a reason — large groups increase the likelihood of the virus spreading.

We’ll just have to bear with them for a while longer, even if it’s sometimes difficult to organise outings with groups of 5 or less.
