There are two types of reactions when you read the updated list of places that COVID-19 patients had been to.
You either freaked out and stayed home for the rest of the year, or you start to believe that COVID-19 patients have been to almost everywhere.
With the list getting even longer than the to-do list you have, I won’t blame you if you think COVID-19 patients have been everywhere, and it’s therefore prudent to take precautions wherever you go.
Case in point? Yesterday’s update.
A Food Court Has Been Visited 8 Times By Infectious COVID-19 Patient / Patients
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 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.
