SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Long queues formed on Monday (May 3) at four regional screening centres, as hundreds of people turned up for free Covid-19 testing offered to individuals with possible exposure to the active Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) cluster.
The Health Ministry (MOH) said last Friday (April 30) that while close contacts of the cases a total of 35 as at Monday have already been identified through contact-tracing, it is pre-emptively mitigating any potential risk of wider, undetected community transmission.
