More than one in five coronavirus patients continued to go to work or socialise even after they were unwell.
Expressing his concern yesterday, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong urged Singaporeans to practise social responsibility to avoid contributing to the spread of Covid-19 here.
He revealed that 35 of the 160 confirmed cases as of Monday, or about 22 per cent, had not minimised social contact and continued to work or carried on with their daily routines even after developing a fever or respiratory symptoms.
Mr Gan, who co-chairs a multi-ministry task force on Covid-19, said at a press conference that many of the locally transmitted cases were a result of the socially irresponsible actions of a few individuals.
“(They) continued to go to work, and attended events and participated in activities despite being unwell, and went on to spread the disease to their family, friends and other contacts,” he said.
He said such behaviour was seen in a few of the local clusters, such as the Wizlearn Technologies and the Safra Jurong private dinner clusters.
