SINGAPORE: It should not be a surprise if Singapore detects a monkeypox case in the coming weeks, as people in the country travel widely and also due to its position as a commercial and international hub, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Saturday .
"It has generated much interest, including at the World Health Assembly that I recently attended, as the disease is no longer a rare disease confined to certain places in Africa, but is being passed from humans to other humans in many parts of the world," he added.have been detected in over 20 countries, he said, adding that it is a virus that has likely jumped from animals, such as rodents, to human beings, in certain regions of Africa.
The typical monkeypox rash lesions develops around the face/mouth or genital areas before spreading all over the body. It might appear to look like a common chickenpox rash and therefore review by a doctor is important, said Mr Ong.
The difference in Singapore is that gay sex between men is illegal and punishable by jail. Would people with symptoms come forward in a place like that?
Another plandemic
When the government said this.... it means it's likely to come.
Many travellers are coming in now, of course not a surprise. It is a surprise if no case here.
