SINGAPORE — Visitors are not allowed at any nursing home in Singapore from Thursday to 30 April, following the announcement of a new cluster linked to 11 cases at the Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home.
“The MOH and the AIC have also reiterated that nursing homes are to adhere strictly to advisories on COVID-19 precautionary measures,” said the AIC.
