Risk of H1N1 community spread rises in
Singapore
Singapore has confirmed two more cases of the H1N1 flu, bringing
the total number here to 49.
But the Health Ministry says unlike the earlier imported cases,
a number of the recent imported cases have engaged in extensive
community activities such as working and shopping since their
arrival here.
Some even travelled to Singapore even though they were already
unwell prior to departure.
The Ministry says this is contrary to its advice that travellers
to affected countries should immediately call 993 for medical
assistance if they feel unwell within seven days of arrival.
It adds such behaviour has considerably increased the difficulty
of contact tracing and significantly heightened the risk of
community spread here in Singapore.
Of the two new cases, one is a 56-year-old German man who works
in Singapore as a researcher at Biopolis.
He had gone to Philadelphia in the United States to attend a
conference, and developed symptoms while he was there.
Upon his return, he went to work for three days.
He also attended a concert, went shopping and had social
activities, including one which was attended by some 70 people.
The other new case is a 26-year-old Indonesian man who works in
Singapore.
He had gone to Melbourne for a holiday, and developed symptoms
during the trip.
The day after his return on 14th June, he sought medical
attention at a clinic and was given two days of medical leave.
Laboratory results confirmed his infection later that day, after
he had gone shopping.
Contact tracing is underway for the two cases.
