There is no need to worry about going to venues that Covid-19 patients have visited as these places are safe, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said yesterday.

He added that the Government releases information about these venues to encourage people who went to these places to watch out for symptoms.

Those who wish to visit these places – which have included supermarkets, offices, malls and Mustafa Centre – can do so as these places would have been thoroughly disinfected, Mr Gan said at a news conference by the multi-ministry task force he co-chairs.

“Once we identify the patient, and when there is a risk at the venue… we will do a thorough deep cleaning at the affected places to render them safe so that workers and family members can go back,” he said.

“So, for places like Mustafa Centre or shopping centres that he has been to, there is generally no risk… because (the patient is) no longer there.”
