SINGAPORE – The seven McDonald’s staff infected with Covid-19 had been deployed across nine different outlets as of noon last Saturday (April 18), the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday.
This spurred the ministry to advise the fast-food giant to stop its operations until May 4 at its more than 135 outlets, including its takeaway and delivery services, which it did so the next day.
“As of 12pm, April 18, 2020, seven McDonald’s employees who had worked across nine different outlets have been found to have Covid-19 infection,” an MOH spokesman told ST.
“As a preventative action to prevent a possible outbreak, and to prevent or reduce the spread of Covid-19, the Director of Medical Services, Ministry of Health, has directed McDonald’s to suspend operations of all outlets, including their delivery and drive-through services, until 3 May 2020 (inclusive).”
The Straits Times has contacted McDonald’s for comment about where these nine outlets were, what kind of roles these seven staff had and why they had been moving across different outlets.
