Over the past week, we have seen an increase in the number of local cases, some of which are unlinked, and have resulted in the formation of community clusters. This could mean a wider undetected community transmission.
To reduce the risk of community transmission, safe management measures will be tightened:
Staying safe during the Chinese New Year period
During festive season, there is a higher risk of transmission as interactions in the community increase. With Chinese New Year approaching, do remember the following:
When dining out,
If you are doing house visits,
Keeping to these measures will help us avoid sparking large clusters, which may require further tightening of measures.
Surveillance testing will be carried out for stallholders, shop owners, persons in the F&B industry as well as food delivery persons operating around Chinatown. This will take place from 8 to 9 February 2021, and all individuals in the identified community groups are strongly encouraged to go for testing.
As we celebrate the Chinese New Year festivities, lets remain socially responsible and remind others to do the same, so that we can keep transmission rates low in Phase 3.
