Singapore is taking its mpox defense to the next level! The Ministry of Health (MOH) announced enhanced measures Wednesday to tackle the Clade I strain of the virus, focusing on detection, isolation, and vaccinations.
Medical pros are now on high alert to spot and report cases swiftly. Close contacts of confirmed Clade I infections will face a 21-day quarantine in government facilities—no exceptions. Meanwhile, suspected cases must isolate immediately while awaiting test results. Those who test positive stay under medical care until they’re no longer contagious.
While details on vaccine availability remain under wraps, the MOH emphasized that ‘prevention is the priority’ as global health experts monitor mpox variants. Travelers, take note: these protocols could impact your plans!
