• Rivervale Mall on July 8 between 12.45pm and 1.25pm

MOH said that it would have already notified individuals who had been identified as close contacts of the confirmed cases.

"As a precautionary measure, persons who had been at these locations during the specified timings should monitor their health closely for 14 days from their date of visit," the ministry said.

"They should see a doctor promptly 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 exposure history."

Members of the public do not need to avoid places where confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been, MOH said.

The National Environment Agency will engage the management of the affected premises to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection, it added.

MOH on Sunday reported 178 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore, the vast majority of whom are work permit holders staying in foreign worker dormitories.

There is one case in the community — a Singaporean — and one imported case.
