SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed the first local case of monkeypox infection in Singapore.
The patient is a 45-year-old male Malaysian national who resides in Singapore. MOH said the man tested positive for monkeypox on Wednesday (Jul 6).
"He is currently warded at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and his condition is stable," MOH said in a media statement on Wednesday.
The man is not linked to the imported case announced by MOH on Jun 21, it added.
The man first developed lower abdomen skin lesions on Jun 30 and subsequently experienced fatigue and swollen lymph nodes on Jul 2.
He developed fever and a sore throat on Jul 4 and sought medical attention where initial tests for other possible medical conditions were done.
"When these tests returned negative, he was subsequently conveyed to NCID on 6 July, where he was isolated for further assessment," said MOH.
As of Wednesday, three close contacts - two housemates and one social contact - have been identified.
All close contacts will be placed on quarantine for 21 days from their last contact with the case. Contact tracing is ongoing, said MOH.

MOH weighing monkeypox vaccination for workers at higher risk, not for general public​

Monkeypox is a viral disease that is caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. It is typically a self-limiting illness where patients recover within two to four weeks.
"A small percentage of those infected can fall seriously ill or even die. Those particularly vulnerable to complications are young children, pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals," said the ministry.
It added that the risk to the general public remains low as transmission requires close physical or prolonged contact.
MOH said it will continue to monitor the monkeypox situation closely and calibrate its preparedness and response measures as needed.
"Members of the public are encouraged to exercise personal responsibility by monitoring their personal health and maintaining good hygiene, especially during travel," it added.
"They should also avoid close contact with other individuals known or suspected to be ill with monkeypox infection."

SINGAPORE — Singapore authorities have confirmed the city-state's first local case of monkeypox infection.
The case is a 45-year-old Malaysian man who resides in Singapore, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a press statement on Wednesday (6 July).
To date, three close contacts of the infected man have been identified, involving two housemates and one social contact. All close contacts will be quarantined for 21 days from their last contact with the case, said MOH, adding that contact tracing is ongoing.
He is not linked to the separate imported case of monkeypox announced by MOH on 21 June, according to MOH. The latter is a 42-year-old British man who works as a flight attendant and was here between 15 and 17 June, and again on 19 June. He tested positive for monkeypox on 20 June.
The Malaysian is currently warded at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and his condition is stable, MOH said.
On 30 June, he first developed lower abdomen skin lesions, and subsequently experienced fatigue and swollen lymph nodes on 2 July. Two days later, after developing a fever and sore throat, the man sought medical attention where initial tests for other possible medical conditions were conducted.
When the tests returned negative, he was subsequently conveyed to NCID on 6 July, where he was isolated for further assessment, MOH said.
"MOH will continue to monitor the monkeypox situation closely and calibrate our preparedness and response measures as needed."
Members of the public should exercise personal responsibility by monitoring their personal health and maintaining good hygiene, especially during travel, MOH advised. They should avoid close contact with other people known or suspected to be ill with monkeypox.
More than 6,000 cases of monkeypox have now been reported from 58 countries in the current outbreak, according to the latest update by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The UN agency will reconvene a meeting of the committee that will advise on declaring the outbreak a global health emergency – WHO's highest level of alert – in the week beginning 18 July or sooner, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday during a virtual news conference.
At its previous meeting on 27 June, the committee decided that the outbreak was not yet a health emergency.
Monkeypox, a usually mild viral infection that causes flu-like symptoms and skin lesions, has been spreading globally since May.
The fatality rate in previous outbreaks of the monkeypox strain currently spreading has been around 1 per cent.
While patients typically recover within two to four weeks, a small percentage of those infected can fall seriously ill or even die. Those particularly vulnerable to complications are young children, pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals.
The risk to the general public remains low given that transmission of the infection requires close physical or prolonged contact.
Given these reasons, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung in a written parliamentary reply on Monday said monkeypox is unlikely to become a global pandemic like COVID-19.
"Unlike COVID-19 vaccination, mass population-wide vaccination with the smallpox vaccine is not recommended as a preventive strategy for monkeypox, in line with international recommendations and the global response thus far," Ong wrote.
Although the smallpox vaccine is up to 85 per cent effective at preventing monkeypox, it has potentially severe side effects, according to Ong.
For the general population, the risks of complications outweigh the benefits, because they are at low risk of being infected, he added.

S’pore Reports 1st Local Monkeypox Case, 45-Year-Old Man Currently In Stable Condition​

6 Jul 2022, 11:48 pm

Earlier in June, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported an imported case of monkeypox — a 42-year-old British national who works as a flight attendant.

Though Singapore has not reported any new cases since then, the virus has been spreading all over the world.

On Wednesday (6 Jul), Singapore reported its first local case of monkeypox — the patient is a 45-year-old man.

The man is warded in the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and is currently in stable condition.

45-year-old is Singapore’s first local monkeypox case​

In a press release on Wednesday (6 Jul) night, MOH announced Singapore’s first local case of monkeypox, involving a 45-year-old Malaysian man living in Singapore.

He has no links to the earlier imported case reported on 21 Jun.

S’pore Confirms 1 Imported Case Of Monkeypox, 13 Close Contacts Quarantined

The man started having symptoms on 30 Jun in the form of lesions on his lower abdomen.

Two days later, on Saturday (2 Jul), the man started experiencing fatigue and had swollen lymph nodes.

On 4 Jul, the man developed flu-like symptoms, such as fever and sore throat, and sought medical attention.

After testing negative for other possible medical conditions, he was conveyed to NCID on Wednesday (6 Jul), where he was isolated for further assessment.

The man tested positive for monkeypox later on the same day.

He is currently warded at NCID and is in a stable condition.

3 close contacts quarantined​

MOH reports that three close contacts have been identified thus far — two housemates and a “social contact”.

All three will be quarantined for three weeks from the day they last had contact with the patient. Contact tracing is currently ongoing.

MOH also shared that they’re monitoring the monkeypox situation closely and will calibrate the corresponding measures as needed.

They urged members of the public to exercise personal responsibility by maintaining good hygiene and keeping a close eye on their health.
