Update on the Wuhan coronavirus

False rumours
Several Facebook posts on 28 Jan claimed that Woodlands MRT was closed due to a suspected case of the Wuhan coronavirus.
This is not true. Woodlands MRT was fully operational.

Sufficient supply of masks
There is a sufficient stockpile of masks and the Govt is working with retailers to push out the stocks.
Masks are generally not needed unless you have respiratory symptoms like a cough or a runny nose.

Note⚠
– All 7 confirmed cases in Singapore are Chinese nationals from Hubei.
– There is currently no community transmission in Singapore.
– You need not avoid places where suspected cases have been to.

PM Lee Hsien Loong:
“Experts think the Wuhan virus may be less lethal than SARS.”

Although “Masks are generally not needed unless you have respiratory symptoms like a cough or a runny nose”, I would still recommend it because there inconsiderate people out there which should’ve been wearing mask but didn’t. Especially when you are taking public transport/visiting crowded area.

Stay save everyone!

Update on the Wuhan coronavirus

The 6th and 7th case of Wuhan coronavirus in Singapore have been confirmed. All confirmed cases are Chinese nationals from Hubei.

Further steps will be taken to limit the risk that Hubei travellers pose to Singapore;

Quarantine for travellers
All recent travellers to Hubei will be quarantined.

Quarantine orders have legal force, with severe penalties for non-compliance.

Suspension of visas
The ICA will be suspending previously issued and new visas for Chinese nationals with passports issued in Hubei province.

All flights from Wuhan have ceased since 23 Jan.

New visitors with a travel history in Hubei will not be allowed entry into, or transit through Singapore
