The photos have clearly caused quite a fair bit of alarm considering that the government just raised its risk assessment of the coronavirus spread in Singapore to DORSCON Orange along with the announcement of three new confirmed cases.
Raising the alert to Orange acknowledges that the disease is severe and spreads easily but has not yet become widespread in Singapore.
According to some netizens, the man was coughing and had breathing difficulties prior to his collapse.
Photos also show TransCom officers and a helpful passer-by checking on the man before the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived.
