Village Grocer Bangsar Village : One Employee Positive For COVID-19!

The affected employee last reported to work on 21 January 2021, and tested positive on 27 January 2021.

Village Grocer closed their Bangsar Village store on 29 January 2021 for deep cleaning and sanitisation, while the rest of their staff undergo a swab test. They will reopen on Saturday, 30 January 2021.

Village Grocer Bangsar Village COVID-19 Exposure : Official Statement

Here is the official statement by Village Grocer on their Bangsar Village store COVID-19 exposure.

 

Village Grocer Bangsar Village COVID-19 Case : What’s The Risk?

Anyone who shopped at Village Grocer Citta Mall on or before 20 January 2021, should be wary and self-quarantine if possible.

The risk will be low if both the affected employees and all customers wore face masks, and maintained physical distance.

The Ministry of Health will be conducting contact tracing for all positive cases, and those identified as close contacts will be asked to self-quarantine and get tested.

Let this be a reminder why it is critical that you wear a face mask in public at all times – they greatly reduce the risk of infection.

You should also maintain good hand hygiene by cleaning with soap and water, or a hand sanitiser.

COVID-19 is easily destroyed by soap, so even a simple cleaning operation will definitely clean the store of any infectious particles, albeit only temporarily.
