The National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued a hygiene advisory after four people developed skin irritation from visiting two Sentosa beaches on two separate occasions.
“Beach users are advised to regularly wash their hands, avoid swimming or wading in bodies of water with open wounds, and shower after exposure to marine water,” it stated.
Family hospitalised after trip to Sentosa beach
What was intended as a leisurely family outing to the Tanjong Beach on Sentosa (July 23) led to three days of hospitalisation.
According to local reports, a family of three had to undergo incision and drainage surgery at the National University Hospital to remove pus from their infected wounds.
They were not the only ones who experienced such turmoil.
Their neighbour’s five-year-old son reportedly developed a coin-size itchy boil below his knee in a separate visit on Aug 4 to HydroDash, a floating obstacle course in Palawan Beach.
