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! ✈️
