By now, you should know that MOH is regularly updating a list of places that infectious COVID-19 cases have visited, and the list is getting longer every day.
However, if you check out the latest list, you won’t see this case, because the list only comprises places that COVID-19 confirmed cases have been to for at least 30 minutes.
For this patient who’s been to a mosque 8 times, he’s been in the premises for less than 30 minutes, so it’s considered a “transient visit”.

So, what should you know?
A COVID-19 Case Has Visited a Mosque in Bedok 8 Times
According to a media statement from Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), a COVID-19 confirmed case has been to a mosque in Bedok North Ave 1, Masjid Al-Ansar, for evening prayers 8 times between 26 June and 2 July.

These are the periods:
- 26 June: 8.43pm to 8.59pm
- 27 June: 7.25pm to 7.39pm, and 8.36pm to 8.54pm
- 28 June: 7.21pm to 7.38pm, and 8.40pm to 8.58pm
- 30 June: 7.21pm to 7.35pm

MOH has confirmed that other worshippers are at low risk of being infected.
Nevertheless, MUIS advises members of the public who have been to Masjid Al-Ansar at these specified times to monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit. They should seek treatment if they do not feel well
As a precautionary measure, the mosque was closed from the evening of 7 July as well as on 8 July to allow for comprehensive cleaning and disinfection.
