SINGAPORE, July 18 (Bloomberg): Singapore will continue to test fishmongers across the country for the Covid-19 virus amid concern that infections at a fishery port have spread to markets and food centres, while three new clusters have been identified.

The city-state has closed the Jurong Fishery Port for deep cleaning, and is investigating seven cases found there, the health ministry said on Saturday evening (July 18).
