Currently, eight cases have been detected in four households at block 456 AMK Avenue 10 while 12 cases have been detected in four households at block 340 Clementi Avenue 5.

Similarly, compulsory testing will be carried out at the void deck of 340 Clementi Avenue 5 on 25 July 2021 between 9:00am to 4:00pm.
Note that testing is optional for those who have tested negative for COVID-19 from 20 July onwards.
Residents are also advised to monitor their health and to seek treatment immediately if they feel unwell.
Voluntary testing for visitors and anybody who has been in contact with the residents of these locations between 9 July and 23 July 2021 is also available.
