SINGAPORE - The Early Childhood Development Agency has ordered a pre-school centre in Hougang to close from Monday until April 15 after a teacher was tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday.
The agency said that the para-educator who provides intervention programmes for the children at the PAP Community Foundation Sparkletots centre at Block 414 Hougang Avenue 10 was last in the centre on Wednesday and had developed symptoms the next day. The closure of the centre will cover the 14-day incubation period of Covid-19, starting from the day the teacher was last in the centre.ECDA said that the centre will reopen on April 16 to serve parents who are working in essential services and are unable to extend their alternative care arrangements beyond the closure period.
The centre will undergo thorough cleaning and disinfection. It is also monitoring the health of its staff and the children. "Preschools are reminded to be vigilant when conducting health checks, and to observe high standards of personal and environmental hygiene," ECDA said.
