Besides the multiple places listed for People’s Park Centre complex, locations in Tampines, and a Prime supermarket in Jurong West were added as well.
Visitors are reminded to stagger their trips to avoid peak hours & crowds — as well as only go out to purchase essentials. Social visits are also limited to groups of 5 only.
An unstated number of cases paid visits over the course of 1 day at People’s Park Centre – along 101 Upper Cross Street – on 24 Jun.
These included stops at An Qi Spa, ML Aesthetics LLP & Pearl’s Hill 34 coffeeshop nearby – a 3-min walk away – on the same day.
According to the time stamps, the individual(s) spent 1 hour at the spa, close to 2 hours at the beauty salon, and approximately 2 hours at the eating house.
Over in the east, Tampines Mart McDonald’s outlet was also visited by Covid-19 cases during their infectious period.
A heartland Prime supermarket at Jurong West was also added.
NEA has assured citizens that all locations on the list have been appropriately sanitised & that there’s no need to avoid the areas.
Residents who’ve visited these locations on the list at similar timings should have been notified if they are deemed “close contacts”.
Here’s the expanded list of locations released since 14 Jun.
The list of public locations by MOH currently excludes the following places:
MOH has also stated that malls & supermarkets will be sanitising the premises accordingly, so there’s no need to avoid these places listed for now.
However, visitors should continue to pay close attention to their health for 14 days following the stated times & visits.
Do seek immediate medical attention if you or your loved ones display these respiratory symptoms:
With Phase 2 & elections upon us, we must stay ever vigilant – masking up when venturing outdoors – to reduce the risks of clusters.
We wish all new patients a swift recovery and that everyone continues to adhere to social distancing cues & regulations.
