A bouldering gym at Aperia Mall announced on Mar. 8 that a climber who visited the facilities on Mar. 5 has been diagnosed with Covid-19.

MOH will be contacting climbers

In a series of Instagram Stories, Boulder+ added that it "will be disinfecting the gym again" on Monday (Mar. 9) during its maintenance hours.

"Rest assured that we're working closely with MOH to manage this situation. They'll be reaching out to all other climbers who were in the vicinity at that time," said the gym.

Gym operations will resume at 2pm on Monday (Mar. 9).

Boulder+ has received plenty of good reviews for its varied bouldering routes as well as its spacious and air-conditioned setting.

Case 142 visited Aperia Mall

Shortly before the gym broke the news, the Ministry of Health announced that one of the new confirmed cases -- Case 142 -- visited Aperia Mall before he was admitted to hospital.

Case 142, a 26-year-old male Singaporean, had onset of symptoms on Mar. 5 and admitted himself to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital the next day. Subsequent test results confirmed Covid-19 infection on Mar. 7.

Case 142 is linked to the cluster involving a private dinner at SAFRA Jurong on Feb. 15. This cluster has been linked to 30 confirmed cases as of Mar. 8.

It is unconfirmed if Case 142 is the climber who visited Boulder+.
