Village Grocer Desa Park COVID-19 Case : Official Statement

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

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

Anyone who shopped at Village Grocer Desa Park on or before 24 July 2021, should be wary and self-quarantine if possible.

The risk will be low if both the affected employee 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.
