SINGAPORE — Causeway Point and Mustafa Centre malls have been added to a list of public places that had been visited by Covid-19 cases during their infectious period.

In its evening update on the coronavirus situation in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (May 4) that the infectious persons had visited:

The Sheng Siong supermarket, Huluruk Myeon House restaurant, Newton Food Centre and Collin’s restaurant listed above were visited by people linked to the Tan Tock Seng Hospital cluster during their likely infectious period. As of Tuesday, the hospital cluster has grown to 40 cases.

MOH said that it would have already notified individuals who were identified as close contacts of the confirmed cases.

"As a precautionary measure, persons who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit," it added.

"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."

Individuals may also access the SafeEntry Location Matching Self-Check service via the TraceTogether mobile application, SingPass app, or at https://wereyouthere.safeentry.gov.sg to check whether they were at these locations during the specified timings, based on their own SafeEntry records.

Members of the public do not need to avoid places where confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been, MOH said.

The National Environment Agency will engage the management of the affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.

On Tuesday, MOH reported 17 new cases of Covid-19 in Singapore, five of which were in the community. The remaining 12 were imported.
