The Health Ministry said that people who were identified as close contacts of confirmed cases have been notified by the ministry.
As a precautionary measure, people who were in those places during specified times should monitor their health closely for 14 days from the date of their visit, the ministry added.
“They should see a doctor immediately 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 history of exposure.”
The Health Ministry said it is not necessary for people to avoid places where COVID-19 cases have occurred and that the National Environment Agency will hire the management of the affected facilities to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
Singapore reported 48 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, including two in the community and five imported infections.
The two community cases are a 56 year old permanent resident and a 45 year old man who has a work permit and is an Indian citizen.
Both cases, which were asymptomatic and not linked to previous cases, were detected as a result of routine tests listed on workers in the construction, marine and process sectors living outside the dormitories.
The 56-year-old man’s serological test result was positive, indicating a “probable past infection,” the Health Ministry said.
The five imported cases had traveled from Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates, India and the Philippines.
