SINGAPORE – With the death toll from the Wuhan virus jumping, and over 2,000 people infected so far, Singapore’s multi-ministry task force set up to fight the infectious disease on all fronts here is implementing new measures, from compulsory leave for some people returning from China, to enhanced screening and checks, in efforts to prevent the virus from taking hold in the country.
For one, Singaporeans are now advised to avoid non-essential travel to mainland China.
And from Wednesday (Jan 29), temperature screening at airports will cover all incoming flights, with additional scrutiny on all flights from mainland China, and checks on all passengers with Hubei passports.
There are also measures in place for workers and students returning from mainland China.
Individuals with travel history to China in the last 14 days will have to give health and travel declarations to their respective organisations, and do health monitoring with temperature checks twice a day for 14 days from their return.
