13 tuberculosis cases have been found at 3 locations in Bedok Central between January 2023 and February this year. Workers at Heartbeat@Bedok, Block 216 Bedok Food Centre & Market and Singapore Pools Bedok betting centre will have to undergo mandatory screening, which will also be extended to members of the public who spent extended periods of time at these places. Authorities say the risk of transmission through casual contact is low, and all identified cases are no longer infectious. #sgnews #
