Covid-19 patients visited three supermarkets in Jurong West, Jalan Kayu and Serangoon North

Two Sheng Siong supermarkets and an NTUC FairPrice outlet have been added to the list of public places visited by Covid-19 patients while they were still infectious.

An infected patient was at the Sheng Siong supermarket at 7 Jurong West Avenue 5 on June 9 from 7.50am to 8.20am.

Another was at the Sheng Siong Supermarket at 19 Serangoon North Avenue 5 on June 19 from 5.15pm to 6.05pm.

A third case was at the NTUC FairPrice outlet at 447A Jalan Kayu on June 15 from 6.25pm to 8.55pm.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) provides this list of locations, where Covid-19 patients have visited for more than 30 minutes, as a precaution to get those who were at these places to monitor their health closely for two weeks from the date of their visit.

It has said that close contacts would already have been notified and that there is no need to avoid these places as they would have been cleaned if needed.

The full list can be found on MOH's website.
