Three Orchard Road malls were added yesterday to the list of places visited by coronavirus patients while they were still infectious.
The malls were Ion Orchard, Lucky Plaza and Paragon, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
For Paragon, the visit recorded was to the Muji store in the mall.
The ministry provides the list of locations and times that infectious Covid-19 patients have visited for at least 30 minutes to get those who were at these places at specific periods 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 MOH's website.
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.
There were 11 new coronavirus cases confirmed yesterday, taking Singapore's total to 57,665. This is the lowest daily figure for new patients since Sept 18, when 11 new infections were also reported.
Yesterday's new patients included two imported cases comprising one work pass holder and one work permit holder.
They returned from India and the Philippines on Sept 13.
Both imported cases had been placed on stay-home notices upon arrival in Singapore, said MOH.
There were no new community cases for the second day in a row.
Migrant workers living in dormitories made up the remaining nine of the 11 new coronavirus patients announced yesterday.
Seven had been identified earlier as contacts of previous cases, and had already been quarantined to prevent further transmission. They were tested during quarantine.
The remaining two cases were detected through surveillance testing.
No new clusters were announced yesterday.
