MOH said that one of the three locally transmitted Covid-19 cases recorded on Saturday was a 68-year-old permanent resident (PR) who works as a cleaner at the Broadway coffee shop. He was confirmed to have been infected with Covid-19 on Friday.
His wife, a 69-year-old PR, also tested positive for the virus on the same day.
The other community case was a 72-year-old Singaporean aviation screening officer employed by Certis Cisco at Changi Airport Terminal 1.
He was tested for Covid-19 on Wednesday and was confirmed to have the virus on Friday, after a pooled-test result came back positive on Thursday night. On Thursday, however, he met 12 others for tennis at the National Service Resort and Country Club.
Investigations are under way to assess if there had been any breach of prevailing precautions to combat Covid-19. Gatherings of more than eight are barred.
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 places during those times, based on their SafeEntry check-in records.
Members of the public do not have to avoid places visited by Covid-19 patients.
The National Environment Agency will engage the management of the affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
On Saturday, Singapore recorded 58 new cases of Covid-19, of which 55 were imported. This is the highest daily tally since Sept 11 last year, when there were 86 infections reported.
