SINGAPORE - Visitors to Jem or Westgate malls in Jurong East between May 10 and May 14 are being strongly encouraged by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to get tested for Covid-19.
The tests are free and are being offered to the public, as coronavirus-positive patients had been at the malls during that period of time, said MOH on its website.
The ministry added that while close contacts of the confirmed cases have already been identified, the free polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are being offered to deal with the risk of wider, undetected viral spread in the community.
