Just like our sadness during the Covid-19 pandemic, MOH’s list of public places visited by infectious Covid-19 cases continues to grow.
And it’s not just the popular malls and eateries anymore.
No, the coronavirus seems intent on exploring every inch of this tiny country.

3 Food Courts In NTU Were Visited By Covid-19 Cases & New Dorm Cluster Reported
Several food courts were among the locations added to MOH’s long list, three of which were in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), according to the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The three food courts are:
- Quad Cafe at NTU’s School of Biological Sciences
- Korean eatery Paik’s Bibim in NTU’s North Spine Plaza
- North Spine Food Court
The food court Essen at The Pinnacle @ Duxton was also added to the list, along with Yuhua Market & Hawker Centre and Apgujeong Hair Studio in Jem.
As always, there’s no need to panic and avoid these places. The National Environment Agency will work with the management of the affected premises to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Those who visited the new locations, which is pretty much NTU students this time, should monitor their health for 14 days from their date of visit, though.
If you develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection, such as a cough, sore throat, runny nose, a fever, as well as loss of taste or smell, please see a doctor immediately.
47 Cases Reported On Tuesday (8 Sept)
While the number of cases yesterday more than doubled from the previous day, no community cases were reported.
All 47 infections reported on Tuesday were asymptomatic, including one imported case; a one-year-old Singaporean infant who had returned from India on 24 Aug.

He was placed on stay-home notice upon arrival in Singapore and was tested during his stay.
Despite the jump in infections, MOH had some good news for us: the number of community cases reported daily decreased from an average of three the week before to two in the past week.
However, the number of unlinked community cases in a week has increased from a daily average of one to two over the same period.
And that’s not the end of the bad news.
New Dorm Cluster Reported
A newly-confirmed case at the S11 Dormitory @ Punggol was linked to 13 previous infections, forming a new dormitory cluster.

This dormitory was previously the largest cluster in the country, with 2,846 cases, before MOH closed it on 8 Aug.
More cases were also linked to existing clusters, according to CNA.
The good thing is that only 22 new infections were reported on Monday (7 Sept) which is the lowest number of daily infections reported since 22 March.
Let’s hope we continue to see these low numbers.
