SINGAPORE: Members of the public who visited JEM or Westgate shopping malls from May 10 to May 14 are"strongly" encouraged to take a COVID-19 swab test after COVID-19 cases visited the malls during their infectious period.
The swab test is free and is intended to “pre-emptively mitigate any potential risk of wider, undetected community transmission”, the Ministry of Health said on Tuesday .Close contacts of the confirmed cases who are at higher risk of infection have already been identified through contact tracing, said MOH.
SMSes will be progressively sent out to individuals identified through their SafeEntry records to inform them of the free testing. As of Monday, Westgate was listed twice on MOH's list of locations visited by COVID-19 cases during their infectious period. The stores in Westgate that were visited by cases are Kiddy Palace and Star Arts.Advertisement
