Residents, stallholders and shop owners in Block 2 Jalan Bukit Merah have been urged by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to go for a voluntary screening for tuberculosis (TB).
MOH said yesterday that the screenings will be conducted free of charge, and will take place from Friday to May 31.
The screening is a precautionary measure after a cluster of seven individuals there were diagnosed with TB between February and March this year, MOH said.
The individuals reside in seven different units in the block, said MOH, who was notified of the cluster on March 2.
For the convenience of residents, mobile teams will go to their homes to carry out the screening.
Those working in the area, or whose homes are deemed unsuitable for the screening, can go to a screening station located at Queenstown Hock San Zone Residents’ Committee (RC) Centre at Block 3 Jalan Bukit Merah.
