In July 8’s press release, the Ministry of Health (MOH) identified three additional locations as a public place that a confirmed Covid-19 case had visited for more than 30 minutes when infectious. However, these locations may have been visited by confirmed cases before.

Mustafa Centre visited four times by confirmed cases in last 14 days

Here are the details, dates and times of the public places visited by confirmed cases in the last 14 days:

Those who had been identified as close contacts of confirmed cases would already have been notified by MOH.

As a precautionary measure, persons who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit. They should see a doctor promptly if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their exposure history.

There is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been. The National Environment Agency will engage the management of affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
