SINGAPORE - Four wards in Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) have been locked down following the detection of a cluster of 13 cases there.
Singapore expects to detect more Covid-19 cases linked to this cluster in the coming days, and may take more stringent measures should widespread transmission be found, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Friday (April 30).
He added that all public places visited by the cases during the time they were likely infectious will be closed for two days for cleaning. This will help reduce the chance of spreading from undetected cases in the community, and also help facilitate the testing of staff, Mr Gan said.
