ION, Lucky Plaza & Muji At Paragon Visited By Infectious Covid-19 Cases
On 25 Sep 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) added three new locations to their list of places visited by Covid-19 cases during their infectious phase.
They are all malls in the main shopping strip of Singapore:
- ION Orchard on 18 Sep, 1.55pm to 4.05pm
- Lucky Plaza on 18 Sep, 4.05pm to 4.55pm / 19 Sep, 6.25pm to 7.20pm / 21 Sep, 10am to 5.55pm
- MUJI at Paragon on 19 Sep, 6pm to 6.35pm
Yes, Lucky Plaza recorded 3 visits within 4 days. Definitely a popular mall, although in this context, it’s not a good thing.
All close contacts have already been identified, MOH says.
If you’ve visited the same area within the same timeframe, MOH asks that you monitor your health for the next 14 days.
See a doctor immediately if you think that you’re experiencing any symptoms, no matter how mild.
You don’t have to avoid these places as the National Environment Agency (NEA) would’ve gotten in touch with the operators of the locations to do a thorough cleaning.
Here is their list in full:
