Singapore reports first suspected pneumonia case linked to Wuhan

 

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported its first suspected case of pneumonia that’s possibly linked to the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where there’s an ongoing outbreak of a mysterious lung infection.

The patient, a three-year-old girl with a travel history to Wuhan, is in stable condition and has been hospitalised for further assessment and treatment, the Ministry of Health said in a statement on Saturday.

She has been isolated as a precautionary measure.

Preliminary tests showed that the case is positive for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, a common cause for childhood pneumonia.

The World Health Organization is monitoring the situation in Wuhan and is in active communication with its counterparts in China, where an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the outbreak.

As of Friday, 44 people had been diagnosed with pneumonia, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission said.

Some of the infected worked at a fresh seafood and produce market in the city. The girl in the suspected case in Singapore had not visited the Huanan seafood wholesale market associated with the cluster, according to the health ministry.

Singapore implemented temperature screening at Changi Airport from Jan 3 for all travelers arriving from Wuhan.

There have been no new suspects as of 3pm on Sunday, said the ministry, adding that this could change amid increased vigilance.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of the update as well. The news from MSN was less than 20 hours old.

second suspected case warded after the first case was found not to be the virus ... ongoing investigation on this second case as of 11 Jan 2020 to see if it is the virus

Chinese man with pneumonia warded, isolated after travel to Wuhan: MOH

SINGAPORE: A Chinese man with pneumonia has been warded in Singapore and isolated after travelling to Wuhan, the Ministry of Health said on Friday (Jan 10). 

 

More than 50 cases of a mystery viral pneumonia in Wuhan, located in central China's Hubei province, have been confirmed. 

 

When the illness first broke out, it sparked fears about a resurgence of SARS, a flu-like virus that killed hundreds of people more than a decade ago. 

 

China has since ruled out the illness might be SARS, which stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome. The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that it may be due instead to a newly emerging member of the family of viruses that caused SARS. 

 

MOH announced last week it would implement temperature screening at Changi Airport for travellers coming from Wuhan. 

 

"As of 10am, 10 January 2020, the Ministry of Health has been notified of a 26-year-old male Chinese national with pneumonia, who had travel history to Wuhan. He has been admitted for further assessment and treatment, and isolated as a precautionary measure," said MOH in a statement. 

 

This is the second such case in Singapore this year, after a three-year-old Chinese girl with pneumonia was warded last Saturday. On Sunday, it was revealed that the girl's condition was not linked to the pneumonia cluster in Wuhan and that she suffered a common childhood viral illness. 

 

Neither the girl nor the man was found to have visited the Huanan seafood wholesale market associated with the Wuhan situation. 

 

MOH said investigations to establish if the man's case was linked to the pneumonia cluster in China were "ongoing".

Not surprise at all, given the huge amount of chinese workers and tourists here, expect more to be confirmed after CNY.  Also during CNY,  sporean still visit china and those visiting thailand also got very high chance to bring back the virus as they are expecting 1 million china tourists visiting thailand.

 

The only country that is safe probably will be north korea as they had blocked all foreign tourists.

Just like SARs, it will always start with first case and god forbids what transpire next.  I hope that Wuhan old man (or those on suspects list)  did not visit our China Town and start shopping from one lane to the next.  Otherwise, how the fucking earth will Singapore trace those contacts?  Luckily for me,  I am homely....wahahahahahah

 Unless this is confirmed as linked to the epidemic. Please dont be a rumour monger. This is undermining all the relevant authorities efforts at control.

 

Seems like this post is meant to cause public panic!!!!!

I personally think Singapore media likes to adopt a typically overly fatalistic approach whenever it comes to such scenarios.

Sometimes, it borders on being overly excessive.

 

Thank God someone spoke out!!!!!!

 

We can read the news (beyond local zaobao) and assess the situation for ourselves...

 

instead of trying too hard to be 155th media and do the doomsday message all over BW while dissing it as a small forum.

 

Indeed...borders on the excessive!!!

Actually i was thinking how much we really learnt from SARS? Look at so many things are touch based,

1. Touch screens,

2. NETs machines where still a lot of people use,

3. Press for door to open in malls.

4. Supermarket checkout, so many people use and they even place those wet sponge for everyone to dip their fingers into to loosen bags.

5. Immigration where thousands of people press to verify thumb prints.

Come to think of it.. Singapore offers better medical treatment as compared to other mandarin speaking countries in Asia. Medical supplies are limited due to lockdown in Wuhan.

I'm really hoping that this should be the realization of Thanos' Snap. There are too many people in this world. Those who will live should be grateful to the purging that is happening now.

4th Case

 

SINGAPORE: A fourth case of the Wuhan virus has been confirmed in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement early on Sunday (Jan 26).

The latest case is a 36-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan who arrived in Singapore with his family on Wednesday, the ministry said.

“He is currently warded in an isolation room at Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) and his condition is stable,” said MOH.

The man, who had not displayed any symptoms of the Wuhan virus during his flight to Singapore, had stayed at Village Hotel Sentosa after his arrival.

However, he developed a cough on Thursday and went to the SKH Emergency Department the following day, where he was classified as a suspect case and immediately isolated.

Subsequent tests confirmed the Wuhan coronavirus infection at about 9.30pm on Saturday.

MOH said it has initiated epidemiological investigations and contact tracing to identify those who had close contact with him.

KUALA LUMPUR: A fourth confirmed case of Wuhan virus in Malaysia was announced on Saturday (Jan 25) night.

The case is unrelated to the three announced earlier in the day, said Malaysian authorities in a news release. 

The fourth patient is a 40-year-old man from Wuhan, China, where the virus originated. 

He arrived in Johor Bahru on Jan 22 after travelling by bus from Singapore. The bus carried 17 tourists including the man’s wife and child, authorities said.
