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+.
