SINGAPORE – A Covid-19 cluster of three cases has been detected at the Bukit Timah Shopping Centre branch of Anytime Fitness gym, and two of the cases have tested preliminarily positive for the Omicron variant.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement sent early on Tuesday morning (Dec 21) that the result for the remaining case is pending.
All three cases are fully vaccinated and have mild symptoms.
MOH is ring-fencing the cases through contact tracing, it added.
The three cases comprise two males, aged 21 and 24, and a female, 18, studying at Ngee Ann Polytechnic who was last in school on Dec 15.
The 21-year-old is a student at At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy but had not been to school recently, while the 24-year-old is unemployed.
MOH said that all three cases had no recent travel history.
The ministry added that its investigations found that they recently visited the gym between Dec 15 and Dec 17.
The ministry said staff and visitors to the gym who are identified to be close contacts of the cases will be placed under quarantine.
As a precautionary measure, other visitors to the gym between Dec 15 and Dec 17 will be issued health risk warnings (HRW).
They will also be contacted by MOH for a one-time polymerase chain reaction test.
The ministry advises all visitors to the gym to monitor their health closely and minimise social interactions as far as possible for 14 days from their date of visit.
They are also encouraged to see a doctor immediately if they feel unwell.
