Singapore. As a precautionary measure against the influenza outbreak, the management of Suntec Singapore initiated temperature screening measures for all guests and visitors to the Centre on 2 May 2009.
The measures taken were temperature taking of all suppliers and contractors; thermal scanning of all visitors to our building; twice daily manual temperature taking of all employees; increased frequency of cleaning of all public places in our building using hospital grade disinfectant as well as deployment of hand disinfectant and anti-bacterial hand washing liquids in all restrooms.
These measures were put in place to ensure the health and safety of all stakeholders at Suntec Singapore. This was also to provide confidence and reassurance to our customers and partners that all necessary and precautionary measures were put into action and that Suntec Singapore was “on top of the situation”.
As of 7 May 2009, the Singapore Ministry of Heath advised a progressive step-down of the alert status from Orange to Yellow. As such, certain measures such as temperature screening at schools, offices and mass public events were lifted.
As a public venue, Suntec Singapore has always been proactive when it comes to public health and safety. As in the last health crisis in 2003, Suntec Singapore was awarded by the Singapore government and highly commended for its swift and thorough response and for all actions taken to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all visitors and delegates to the centre. Suntec Singapore thanks our customers, partners and all employees for their patience, cooperation and understanding as well as for their continued support.
