People who were identified as close contacts of confirmed cases would already have been notified by the ministry. As a precautionary measure, people who were at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit, MOH said.
“They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history,” said MOH.
“There is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been.”
The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
