COLLECTION OF SELF TEST KITS FOR SOME RESIDENTS IN BUKIT MERAH, REDHILL
From Saturday to Sunday, residents of specific blocks in the Bukit Merah/Redhill region can collect antigen rapid test (ART) kits at their nearest residents' committee centre.
This was an added layer of ringfencing to help identify cases and prevent further transmission in the area, said MOH on Friday.
The ministry added that it was investigating multiple cases of COVID-19 infection among individuals who reside, work in or visited the area.
Separately, MOH said that all residents of 66 Eng Watt Street will undergo mandatory testing for COVID-19 after 13 cases were detected there.
