I might be a contact / myLot

I made a quick stop at a supermarket yesterday. Got better choices and prices compared to the one near my town. I was on my way back from work anyway. Grab veggies, chiffon cakes and yogurt drink. Then I went straight home. Today, my boss told me the supermarket is close due active cases there. I told him I was there yesterday. He looked at me like I murdered someone. Luckily I applied for an early leave. Must not be really comfortable to work with people who's looking at you like your sneeze sound like a death curse. I haven't receive any alert from the government app regarding this issue. Either it is slow to update or the news was a hoax. We'll see much later today. I'm fine being quarantine anyway

I think you should take a test, so all your co workers feel reassured.

I should if I really am a contact. However, it might be a hoax as there's no news from the government. Too many hoax circulating these days that it's not helpful with the current situation.

@prinzcy If there is no official news, it is a hoax.

Others are quick to react like that as if you're really a carrier. I hope everything is fine with you.

No, don't have any of those. Just need to be careful until I'm sure that's not the case.

@prinzcy take vitamins and lots of fluids. In case the virus has incubated it will not stay if you have strong immune system.

I'll go for a test if I develop a symptom. Also if I got the alert from the government as I register before entering any premises for a case like this. So far, no update from the government yet.

I would if I got the alert or start developing symptoms. I might or might not meet the positive person. So I'm pretty much a casual contact.

It would have been wise to avoid supermarket visit an ideal place to catch a virus.

I guess it all depends on what time you were there. You may have been and gone when the infected person entered the shop. Hope you are all clear, but it is a worrying time

I'm more like casual contact, a person who's there when a positive person was there on the same day. Usually casual contact doesn't need to do anything unless start developing symptoms.

The news was true but I haven't got any alert regarding the issue. Either the person was there days before I got there or it was one of their staffs who are in the tight lockdown area right now.
