The government health department is looking for close contacts of these confirmed cases.
The Brunei government announced on the same day that it would tighten social control measures for a period of two weeks starting today. These measures include postponing all social gatherings, closing religious sites and indoor and outdoor recreational and sports venues, restaurants are not allowed to provide dine-in meals and only allow packaging, and schools and other educational institutions start online courses. The Brunei government also requires people to wear masks and use mobile phone software that tracks their health when entering and leaving public places, so that medical institutions can grasp relevant data and reduce the risk of the epidemic.
