SINGAPORE - Those who visited the Admiralty Wet Market and Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre in the last 14 days will be provided free Covid-19 self-test kits, said the Ministry of Health.
In its daily update on Friday night (July 23), MOH said there are 78 new cases linked to the
Jurong Fishery Port cluster, which now stands at 665 cases.
The ministry is working with the People's Association to distribute antigen rapid test (ART) self-test kits to people who visited selected markets and food centres in the last 14 days, as an added layer of ring-fencing to identify cases and prevent further transmission.
This is part of investigations into Covid-19 infection at markets and food centres that were likely seeded by fishmongers who visited Jurong Fishery Port to collect their stock to be sold at markets and food centres, added MOH.
The collection will run from Saturday to Sunday at residents' committee centres in the vicinity of the Admiralty Wet Market and Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre.
There were also six new cases linked to the KTV cluster, which now stands at 227 cases. There were no additional KTV lounges or clubs linked to the cluster on Friday.
There were also three more cases added to the Marina Bay Sands Casino cluster, which now has 20 cases. The casino will be closed to the public from Thursday to Aug 5.
There are currently 26 active clusters of infection on Friday, ranging between three and 665 infections.
This is as three new clusters were declared, with between three and five infections each.
Six clusters linked to ION Orchard mall and five individuals were declared closed as there were no cases linked to them for the past 28 days.
