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

Individuals may access the SafeEntry Location Matching Self-Check service via the TraceTogether App or SingPass Mobile, or online to check whether they were at these locations during the specified timings, based on their own SafeEntry records, said the ministry.
It added that there is no need to avoid places where confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been.
