3. Please refer to the
Annexes and MOH’s daily Situation Report (
www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/situation-report) for details.
4. Epidemiological investigations are in progress. In the meantime, all the identified close contacts of the cases have been isolated and placed on quarantine, and will be tested at the start and end of their quarantine period so that we can detect asymptomatic cases. We will also conduct serological tests for the close contacts to determine if the cases could have been infected by them.
5. As we gradually reopen our economy and resume social activities, the government has been testing more extensively in the community to facilitate early detection and to obtain a better picture of population prevalence. So far we have conducted such surveillance testing for taxi/private hire car drivers, food delivery personnel and cashiers. As part of the progressive rollout of community surveillance testing, we will extend testing for stallholders in and around Tekka Centre. The testing operations will be conducted near Little India MRT station on 26 November 2020.
