SINGAPORE – All 360 centres under PAP Community Foundation (PCF) will close for four days from Thursday (March 26) after 18 Covid-19 cases were found to be linked to its pre-school in Bedok North.
Those infected were 14 employees at the Fengshan PCF Sparkletots centre, including the principal. The other four were the principal’s family members.
Some of the staff were at work despite feeling unwell, said PCF chief executive Victor Bay in a letter to parents on Wednesday.
“We are sorry for what has happened,” he said. “It is regrettable that measures put in place to safeguard the well-being of children and staff were not strictly followed in that centre.”
Mr Bay said in a media statement that an internal committee of inquiry will be formed to investigate the matter and disciplinary action against employees would be taken where warranted.
The 47-year-old principal was well when she went to work on March 17 but developed symptoms that afternoon.
