“For everyone who is not yet a patient, it is in our own interest to know quickly and early whether any of us have had close exposure to a patient who is Covid-19 positive,” Balakrishnan pointed out at press conference by the Covid-19 multi-ministry taskforce.
SINGAPORE (June 8): Good contact tracing is “absolutely essential” to curb the spread of Covid-19 infections, identify patients quickly and isolate them thereafter, said Minister-in-charge of the Smart Nation initiative Vivian Balakrishnan on Monday.
This way, authorities are better able to take appropriate precautions to prevent a further spread of the coronavirus.
