Average number of community cases increased

According to MOH, the average number of community cases per day have increased. This is especially since more people are going out and about now.

From an average of 10 per day in the week before, it is now 16.

The same goes for the average number of unlinked community cases per day. It is now 8, from 5 in the week before.

Singapore residents were warned to expect a rise in community cases beforehand, and we should continue to adhere to safety measures strictly.

 

No need to avoid places visited by Covid-19 patients

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 — better to be safe than sorry.
