The list is updated by MOH on a rolling 14-day basis, or one incubation period, and as epidemiological investigations progress.

If you were at any of the locations during the specified timings, you should monitor your health closely for 14 days from your date of visit as a precautionary measure, MOH advised. 

There were 15 new COVID-19 cases reported in Singapore on Thursday. Of these, 14 were imported, with one in the community.  

MOH said the sole community case reported on Friday is linked to the cluster at BS Industrial & Construction Supply in Kallang, bringing the total infections there to eight. 

On Friday, the multi-ministry COVID-19 taskforce announced that households in Singapore can only receive up to a maximum of eight visitors a day with effect from Jan 26 (Tuesday). 

This is in light of the rise in community COVID-19 cases, as well as the possible risk of transmission during Chinese New Year. 

People should also visit no more than two households a day as much as possible, Mr Lawrence Wong, the minister-in-charge of the multi-ministry COVID-19 task force added.
