Seoul Garden in Tampines Reopens After Going Through Disinfection

When a man decides to dine at a restaurant with 12 other members and was subsequently diagnosed with Covid-19, it’s not just him and his family that gets into trouble.

The restaurant, too, wouldn’t escape without some questioning.

Well, after the entire hoo-ha with Singapore’s single community case after 16 days, Seoul Garden has come out to set the record straight.

According to TODAYonline, Seoul Garden’s management allegedly only found out about the confirmed case from media reports.

While the Seoul Garden Group were contacted by the Ministry of Health (MOH) on the night of 25 Nov, they were told that it was a request for information “as part of contact tracing for a Covid-19 related case”.

It was only on 26 Nov that they found out, from media reports, that a confirmed Covid-19 case has dined at their outlet at Tampines Mall.

Mr Garry Lam, the general manager of Seoul Garden Group, emphasised that the restaurant chain does not accept group bookings of more than five.

He also added that their staff were trained to enforce safe management rules and remind customers not to intermingle between tables or with other diners.

On 27 Nov (Friday), the Tampines Mall outlet was closed for cleaning and disinfection, and Lam hopes that customers will have a “peace of mind” when they reopen for business today (28 Nov).

As for why the man was dining with 12 other family members across three tables and mingling with one another, it wasn’t explained.

However, he added that the Seoul Garden Group will be working closely with authorities and government agencies to curb any asymptomatic transmission that may occur.

There are currently 31 confirmed COVID-19 cases who are still in hospital. Of these, most are stable or improving, and 1 is in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

29 are isolated and cared for at community facilities. These are those who have mild symptoms, or are clinically well but still test positive for COVID-19.

28 have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection.
