Both venues were temporarily closed with immediate effect, and deep cleaning and disinfection will be carried out on Tuesday.

All employees who were on duty at the two Livewire outlets during the stated days have been advised to stay home. Singapore Pools said it is working closely with the health ministry to facilitate COVID-19 swab tests for these employees.

“Singapore Pools is providing full assistance to MOH in its contact tracing efforts. We will take guidance from MOH on any further action that is needed,” it added.

According to the Singapore Pools website, Livewire currently offers live betting services at a maximum capacity of 50 pax due to safe distancing regulations.
