Bugis Street, Mustafa Centre, Jurong Point and Kitchener Complex were among new sites visited by coronavirus patients while they were infectious, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) yesterday.
Bugis Street was visited on three separate occasions - between 8.15pm and 11pm on Nov 1, between 3.30pm and 6.55pm on Nov 3, and between 11.45am and 3.20pm on Nov 8.
Mustafa Centre was visited on Nov 3, a Burger King outlet at Kitchener Complex was visited on Nov 4, and Jurong Point was visited on Nov 5.
A Kopitiam outlet in Jurong East was visited on Nov 6 and Nov 8.
These were among locations newly added to a list of places visited by patients in the community during their infectious period.
MOH provides the 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 these places at the same time to monitor their health closely for two weeks from the date of their visit.
The full list of locations and times can be found on the gov.sg website.
MOH has said that close contacts would already have been notified and there is no need to avoid these places as they would have been cleaned if necessary.
It announced nine new Covid-19 patients here yesterday, of which one was a patient from the community.
The sole community case was a 25-year-old Malaysian national who last worked as a cleaner on Nov 2, said MOH.
He developed symptoms a day later and sought medical treatment at a general practitioner clinic, where he was tested for Covid-19 under enhanced community testing. His case is unlinked.
