Village Grocer Sunsuria COVID-19 Exposure : Official Statement

Note : The statement was posted verbatim, including all their grammatical mistakes. They meant sanitisation, instead of sanitation, for example.

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

As mentioned in their statement, Village Grocer will be conducting contact tracing, and those identified as close contacts will be asked to self-quarantine and get tested.

This case reinforces the importance of contact tracing, as well as the MySejahtera mobile app which logs the movements of its users.

While shopping malls and all other public premises offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use MySejahtera, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.

Using MySejahtera also obviates the need to sign a physical logbook, which usually means using a shared pen – an unnecessary risk factor.

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

However, it is critical that you wear a face mask in public at all times, as 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 : How To Keep Safe!

Here are a few simple steps to stay safe from COVID-19 :

Avoid suspected cases or disease hotspots, like hospitals, if possible!
Avoid public events and crowds
Keep our hands clean with soap or hand sanitiser
If you need to wear a surgical mask, make sure you put it on and remove it properly!
