No More Infection at Crowne Plaza After MOH Conducted ‘Special Testing Operation’
234 staff working at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport were swabbed as part of a “special testing operation” by MOH.
Fortunately, all 234 Covid-19 tests have returned a negative result.
However, MOH is still investigating the three cases detected earlier.
Based on its preliminary investigations, the ministry cannot dismiss the possibility that transmissions could have occurred at the hotel.
The hotel, including its restaurant and event spaces, will remain closed until 21 Jan.
