Are you enjoying a meal with four friends in a hawker centre now? If so, enjoy while it lasts, because other than the KTV cluster that has caused some men to break out in cold sweats at home recently, it appears that there might be another cluster that’s brewing. Welcome to 2021, when clusters come and go as fast as PM Lee changes his cup. ComfortDelGro Driving Centre Suddenly Closes As 4 COVID-19 Cases Are Linked To The Centre Well, at least people there would dare to take their COVID-19 tests openly should it be offered to them. At 5pm today, ComfortDelGro Driving Centre suddenly put up an announcement on its Facebook page, saying that “in accordance with the Ministry of Health's directives, ComfortDelGro Driving Centre (Ubi, Kovan and Tampines) will be temporarily closed with immediate effect, from now till 29 July 2021.” It’s so sudden, all lessons from 4:25pm onwards will be cancelled, and all TP tests will also be cancelled. All fees will be refunded. I can’t imagine the reactions of students who had been preparing for their tests. Online theory lessons will continue. If you’re one of the students, you can bookmark this website for updates. The company didn’t say why they had to close all of a sudden, but it’s reported that it’s due to four COVID-19 cases linked to the driving centre. Its website is rather unstable now, probably due to a spike in online traffic. Here’s their post in full: TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF COMFORTDELGRO DRIVING CENTRE In accordance with the Ministry of Health's directives, ComfortDelGro Driving Centre (Ubi, Kovan and Tampines) will be temporarily closed with immediate effect, from now till 29 July 2021.
