Asymptomatic
“She tested positive after she was screened during routine pre-admission, she may have been asymptomatic.”
The second case was also asymptomatic as she did not display any symptoms.
According to Nawa, both officials, who tested positive for the virus, “have been diligently following daily routine screening upon reporting for duty, which entails temperature scanning, completing a questionnaire and sanitising”.
Following the two cases, all personnel stationed at the centre have been tested and directed to self-isolate for at least 14 days.
“They will be working from home in the meantime,” Nawa said.
“Having said that, the City takes this opportunity to assure residents that every measure is being implemented to flatten the curve and ensure that residents comply with Level 4 lockdown regulations.”
