On Saturday (18 Jul), the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that 11 more locations have been added to the Public Places Visited by Cases in the Community during Infectious Period list.
Out of these 11, some popular spots include:

It is updated on a rolling 14-day basis, and excludes residence, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and public transport.

The 2 Singaporeans/PRs – Cases 47649 and 47721) – returned to Singapore from India on 6 Jul and from Pakistan on 4 Jul.
Case 47685 – a Dependant’s Pass holder – along with 4 Work Pass holders who work in Singapore, flew in from India between 6-15 Jul.
All 7 above are now serving Stay-Home Notices.
As for the Special Pass holder, he’s Case 47613, who arrived in Singapore from the Philippines on 16 Jul. The sailor was sent directly to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID).
MOH assured that they have already informed those who are identified as close contacts of confirmed cases.
For precaution, those who have visited the aforementioned locations during the specified timings must monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit.
However, there is no need to avoid places where Covid-19 patients had visited, says MOH. The National Environment Agency (NEA) will provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection to management of the affected premises.
Even so, do take extra precaution if you’re planning to visit these locations soon. Collective social responsibility is a major factor in combatting the pandemic.
