Updates on COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) Local Situation

Clarifications on Misinformation

1 April 2020: We are aware that there are COVID-19 April Fool’s pranks circulating on Whatsapp and social media. We urge public not to spread fake news and misinformation about COVID-19. Singaporeans are relying on internet and media for vital information for COVID-19, and these jokes, while benign in nature, may fan the spread of misinformation resulting in severe consequences. If you have received files from unknown or unverified source, do not click on it, or forward it further.

27 Mar 2020:  We are aware of a message circulating on social media and text messaging platforms about a Safe-Distancing Ambassador who allegedly issued a $300 fine to a person for sitting on a seat which was marked as ‘not to be occupied’. We wish to clarify that this false.

Safe-Distancing Ambassadors are deployed to help ensure that safe distancing measures are complied with. They do not issue fines.

27 Mar 2020
We are aware of scammers using automated voice calls or impersonating as MOH staff or contact tracing team, asking users to provide personal information including financial details, or collect documents from the Ministry. We wish to clarify that:

  • MOH will not ask for your financial details during contact tracing; and
  • MOH will not ask you to collect documents from us, if you do not have existing matters with us.

When in doubt, please verify the authenticity of phone calls by calling MOH hotline at 1800-333-9999. It is a good practice to always verify the authenticity of instructions before offering any personal information or making payments to anyone.


We advise members of the public to not speculate and/or spread unfounded rumours. Please visit www.moh.gov.sg for updates on the COVID-19 situation and click here for past clarifications.
