4.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), after an individual is informed (on or after 15 September 2021) that he or she —
(a)
tested positive for SARS‑CoV‑2 upon undergoing a PCR test in Singapore; or
(b)
has been diagnosed as having a COVID‑19 infection,
and becomes a diagnosed person, he or she must take all reasonably practical steps to notify, within 24 hours after being notified about the happening of the event in sub‑paragraph (a) or (b) to him or her —
(c)
every other individual whom the diagnosed person knows or ought reasonably to know is a defined contact of the diagnosed person; and
(d)
a parent or guardian of every juvenile whom the diagnosed person knows or ought reasonably to know is a defined contact of the diagnosed person,
about all notifiable matters relating to the diagnosed person.
(2) In the case where the diagnosed person is a juvenile, a parent or guardian of the juvenile must take all reasonably practical steps to notify, within 24 hours after the diagnosed person, or the parent or guardian of the juvenile, is notified about the happening of the event in paragraph (1)(a) or (b) to the diagnosed person —
(a)
every other individual whom the parent or guardian knows or ought reasonably to know is a defined contact of the diagnosed person; and
(b)
a parent or guardian of every juvenile whom the firstmentioned parent or guardian knows or ought reasonably to know is a defined contact of the diagnosed person,
about all notifiable matters relating to the diagnosed person.
(3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) apply even if a PCR test result is or may be subsequently determined to be an atypical finding for SARS‑CoV‑2.
(4) To avoid doubt, paragraph (1) does not limit the effect of any requirement in regulation 16 of the Workplace Safety and Health (COVID-19 Safe Workplace) Regulations 2021 (G.N. No. S 992/2021).
[S 988/2021 wef 01/01/2022]
(5) An individual who, without reasonable excuse, contravenes paragraph (1) or (2) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.
(6) However, paragraph (2) does not apply if a parent or guardian of a juvenile who is a diagnosed person knows that another parent or guardian of the juvenile has already notified the notifiable matters as required by that paragraph.
