SINGAPORE – The authorities have said there is no need to avoid places where people suspected or confirmed to have the Wuhan coronavirus have been.
The government advisory, published on its Facebook page on Saturday (Feb 1), comes as a WhatsApp message has been circulating with a list of places allegedly visited by people suspected or confirmed to have the Wuhan coronavirus.
“This is false. There is no need to avoid places where persons with suspected or confirmed cases of the Wuhan coronavirus have been,” the notice said.
“The risk of infection from transient contact, such as in public places, is low. There is also currently no evidence of community spread.”
Meanwhile, the National Environment Agency (NEA) also published a similar advisory on Saturday.
