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 (May 28).

However, he assured that Singapore has in place the necessary protocols and public health measures, triggered by an imported case in 2019.

"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. Infected persons may experience the following initial symptoms: Fever, chills, headache, muscle ache and swollen lymph nodes.
