Virus likely to have spread in Singapore, he says, as MOH confirms new cases

Jalelah Abu Baker

The spread of the Zika virus has widened to areas in the north and east, after single cases were found in Yishun, Upper Thomson and Simei. The Ministry of Health (MOH) yesterday also revealed that a second pregnant woman has been diagnosed with the virus.

She has been linked to the original cluster in the Aljunied Crescent/Sims Drive area, where the other expectant mother lives.

The 31 new infections detected as of noon yesterday, and another five found through look-back testing, take the total number of locally transmitted Zika cases here to 151 - less than a week after the first case involving a Malaysian woman living in Aljunied was found.

In a Facebook post a few hours before MOH's latest update last night, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said it was only a matter of time before the Aedes mosquito-borne virus reached Singapore.

"The cases so far have been in Aljunied and Bedok, but we must assume that Zika is elsewhere in Singapore too," he wrote, adding that scientists are still learning about Zika "But we know that for most people, it is mild, and in fact often causes no symptoms at all. Pregnant women are at risk, as they are with other viral infections like dengue and chicken pox. Do take precautions and get tested if you show symptoms.

"Our best defence is to eradicate mosquitoes and destroy breeding habitats, all over Singapore. Do the five-step Mozzie Wipeout. Let's all do our part to fight Zika, and dengue as well."

Wow!! That's why we pay him millions.
We would never have figured this out ourselves!
FUCK YOU UNDERSTAND CCB!!!!

We learned from Jurassic park mosquitoes been around millions of years! Probably less millions in years than the piece of shits' million dollars.

How to eradicate? Teach the worlds scientist La! where malaria is still the biggest killer in the world!

Mosquitoes n cockcroaches been around for millions of years so the son should feel some affinity to mosquitoes.

Long after garbagement n the son is gone n forgotten, including spore like Atlantis, mosquitos will still b around

To wait or not - this question is on the minds of couples planning to have a child after the spread of Zika to several areas in Singapore.

The advice from doctors is that there is no real reason to delay, since it seems unlikely the virus will be eliminated from these shores.

Instead, those planning parenthood should accept that this is likely to be the "new normal" and take precautions against being bitten by the Aedes mosquito - which spreads Zika - and make sure their homes are mosquito-free.

"The transmission vector is a mosquito which is endemic in Singapore. You might want to delay pregnancy but when do you think Zika is going away?" said Dr Christopher Ng of GynaeMD Women's and Rejuvenation Clinic.

The same point was made by infectious diseases specialist Leong Hoe Nam of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital: "If we can't clear the Zika cases in the next few weeks, chances are that it will stay rooted in Singapore. But life must go on."

While a Zika infection is typically mild, with symptoms of fever and rash along with others such as sore eyes and joint ache, it can have serious effects on unborn children. Pregnant women who catch the disease may give birth to babies with unusually small heads - and this could lead to developmental problems.

Cover up, stay in: Singaporeans wary as Zika spreads

SINGAPORE: Many of Singapore's five million people are covering up and staying indoors to avoid mosquito bites as health experts warned that the outbreak of the Zika virus in the tropical city-state would be difficult to contain.

One of the world's leading financial hubs, Singapore is the only Asian country with active transmission of the mosquito-borne virus, which generally causes mild symptoms but can lead to serious birth defects in pregnant women.

Authorities say they have found over 150 cases since the first locally contracted infection was reported a week ago, and with the virus spreading beyond the cluster where it was initially detected, more people are taking precautions.

"I'm not going to let her go outside much until Zika dies down," said Nat Bumatay, a self-employed mother, of her six-year-old daughter Sunshine. "Usually during short holidays, we go outside to the parks, go cycling, but now I will refrain."

A warm, tropical climate, forested areas and a network of public parks make outdoor activities popular across Singapore, especially during school holidays like the ten-day break that began on Friday.

SINGAPORE: 38 new cases of locally transmitted Zika virus infection were confirmed on Friday (Sep 2), bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 189.

In a joint statement, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Environment Agency (NEA) said that of the 38 new cases, 34 are linked to the Aljunied Crescent/Sims Drive/Kallang Way/Paya Lebar Way cluster.


They added that four new cases have no known links to any existing cluster, but did not specify where these cases were located.


The agencies added that vector control remains key to reducing the spread of the Zika virus.


NEA said it is continuing with vector control operations to control the Aedes mosquito population in Aljunied Crescent, Sims Drive, Kallang Way and Paya Lebar Way.

And the best part is he leaves the country to go and attend G20 in China when his own country is having a crisis .

Just a matter of time the whole island will have Zika cases as Sg is so small. Difference in which area is worse than the other.

But I hope everyone should do his or her part, make sure ur house has no breeding place.

Dengue they can't solve . And they spend time fixing the opposition wards . I can bet you they also can't solve Zika . They should have killed all the mosquitos in the first place.

When Joseph Schooling and the rest returned from Brazil, a few MPs went to airport to attend a big welcoming party.

At that time don't tell me nobody knew of the zika virus?
Did they send those who returned from Brazil to have a medical check-up?

I guess they prefer to celebrate, take pictures with Schooling and boast about their great achievement in giving Schooling a deferment, no one in White cared about the zika virus
