SINGAPORE -- Another seven people have come down with the severe
acute respiratory syndrome (Sars), bringing the total number of
people with the disease here to 51.
Of the seven new patients, three are hospital staff members and the
rest are close contacts of patients, the Health Ministry disclosed
in a press statement on Sunday.
So far, only three patients, including two index cases, have been
discharged from the Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
To reduce the risk of infection, the TTSH on Saturday announced
that it will not admit new patients other than those with
Sars.
