As of 12pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) preliminarily reports 191 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore.

There are 16 new cases in the community: 7 Singaporeans/PRs and 9 work pass holders.

Out of the 16 cases, 8 are contacts of known Covid-19 cases and are already on quarantine, the remaining 8 cases are undergoing epidemiological investigations.

There is 1 imported case today who was on Stay-Home-Notice since arrival in Singapore.

Migrant workers living in dormitories make up a vast majority of the cases.

This brings Singapore’s total number of cases to 45,614.

A Food Court Has Been Visited 8 Times By Infectious a COVID-19 Patient / Patients from 30 June to 7 July

Other than MUIS informing members of the public that someone had visited a mosque eight times while he has COVID-19 (though he was in the mosque for less than 30 minutes each time), another place has the honour of getting the special eight, too.

In an updated list published by MOH yesterday, it’s revealed that a COVID-19 patient, or patients, has been to a food court, My Kampung, in Kallang Wave Mall eight times, from 30 June to 7 July.

Each visit lasted for about 30 minutes.

These are the periods:

• 30 June: 5:25pm to 6pm
• 3 July: 12:30pm to 1pm
• 3 July: 5:26pm to 6pm
• 4 July: 5:25pm to 6pm
• 5 July: 5:25pm to 6pm
• 6 July: 12:30pm to 1pm
• 6 July: 5:25pm to 6pm
• 7 July: 5:25pm to 6pm

You can draw your own conclusion about whether it’s one person or a few people, but all I can think of is this: damn, there must be some nice food there.

As usual, do note that there’s no need to avoid these places. In fact, they could’ve been the cleanest in Singapore since the National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.

However, as a precautionary measure, people who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit. 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.
