Ngee Ann City in Orchard Road, Orchis Food Court in Changi Airport Terminal 1 and Alexandra Village Food Centre are among new places visited by Covid-19 patients while they were infectious, said the Health Ministry yesterday.

Between Sept 15 and 25, the Orchis Food Court was visited at six different time slots, while the Alexandra Village Food Centre was visited at four separate time slots.

Popular venues IMM, Bugis Junction and Bugis+ were also listed as new locations visited by patients.

The ministry provides the full list of locations that infectious Covid-19 patients visited for at least 30 minutes and the times they visited them, to get people who were at those places at the same time to monitor their health closely for two weeks from the date of their visit.

Close contacts would have been notified and there is no need to avoid these places as they would have been cleaned, the ministry said.

A total of 27 new cases were confirmed yesterday, taking Singapore's total to 57,742.
