City
Given large number of Covid-19 cases in the community and poor handling of outbreak at Shoppes at Four Seasons, city needs to act decisively and fast.
Buses may not travel more than 60% full; drivers must call for back-up if they have to turn passengers away.
Fifth mass test finished, with some positive signs; more hotel rooms assume quarantine role; no citywide lockdown planned.
Forty-one of 128 new cases found in red zones and medical observation hotels, 36 in close contacts, 38 in mass testing and among key groups while 13 detected in community; over 15,000 people under follow up.
Over 490,000 people have been sampled up until this morning; mass testing to end today at 6 pm.
Residents urged to book test as soon as possible; anyone untested by 6 pm this evening will automatically be assigned yellow health code.
Hotel was shuttered on Tuesday after 13 staff were found to be Covid-19 positive; gamblers allowed to leave.
Supermarkets and other retail outlets advised to employ more cleaners, check customers’ Health Codes and ventilate their premises thoroughly.
