Oracle Corporation, a U.S.-based software company, was recently revealed to have a confirmed case of Covid-19 among its staff.

The company's offices are located on Level 12 of the Galaxis building at 1 Fusionopolis Place.

Company disinfected and cleaned premises

A circular was sent out on Mar. 10 by Ascendas Services, a property management company that is a subsidiary of CapitaLand, that informed occupants of the Galaxis building of the case.

The circular, seen by Mothership and reproduced below, said the building's property management team was informed on Mar. 10 by one of its tenants that "one of their staff" had contracted the virus.

According to The Business Times, the staff developed symptoms on Mar. 8.

No further details of the person was revealed, so it is not clear if he or she has been announced by MOH as a confirmed case, or when.

The circular stated that the last time the person was in the office was last Friday (Mar. 6).

Ascendas added that since being informed of the case, all common areas of the Galaxis building have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

The tenant, which The Business Times revealed was the firm Oracle, was also disinfecting their premises, and would close their offices for the rest of the week.

Employees who came into contact with the confirmed patient were reportedly told to observe a 14-day leave of absence from the office.

Other precautionary measures the building management will be implementing are:

• Intensifying cleaning and disinfecting of common areas,
• Conducting temperature screening for all visitors and tenants,
• Requiring visitors to submit a travel or health declaration form,
• Installing hand sanitisers at the concierge and lift lobbies and,
• Having all cleaners wear masks and gloves during their work.
