It’s a matter of time when S’pore will see H1N1 case
Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, May 16

SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH) says it is a matter of time when Singapore will see an Influenza A (H1N1) case.

An MOH spokesman, who was responding to media queries on Malaysia confirming its first H1N1 case, said Singaporeans should not be surprised by this development.

The spokesman added that the Malaysian health authority had informed its Singapore counterpart that there were no Singaporeans and also no passengers connecting to Singapore onboard the flight taken by the confirmed Malaysian case.

He said the infected person in Malaysia is reported to be in stable condition and will likely recover fully — as in many other cases elsewhere — because he had sought medical treatment as soon as symptoms appeared.

The spokesman added that prompt treatment will lead to full recovery, unless there are other underlying medical conditions.

He also said the only way to avoid infection is for people to maintain a high standard of personal hygiene and be socially responsible by staying at home if they are unwell and wearing a mask if they are on the way to see a doctor.
