Singapore Poly to test 6,500 students, staff for Covid-19 following 3 positive cases

SINGAPORE - About 6,500 students, staff and vendors at Singapore Polytechnic (SP) will be tested for Covid-19 from Wednesday (May 19), after three students earlier tested positive for the virus. There is currently no evidence to show that these cases, which were reported on Sunday and Monday, are linked to one another, said SP in a statement. However, given the three positive cases, as well as the locations and proximity of their schools in SP s campus, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has decided to take an additional precautionary measure to reduce the risk of transmission within our campus, it added. The ministry prioritised several groups to be swabbed - about 6,500 students, staff and food court vendors from five schools in SP who were on campus on or after April 29.
