[NEWS]Singapore confirms three more H1N1 flu cases
May 29th, 2009 • Uncategorized
SINGAPORE: Singapore on Thursday confirmed three more cases of Influenza A (H1N1), bringing the number of infected persons in the country to four.
A day earlier, Singapore confirmed its first case of A(H1N1) flu, in a 22-year-old female Singapore Management University (SMU) student who recently returned to the city-state from New York.
The second confirmed case is a 43-year-old Singapore Permanent Resident who returned to Singapore from San Francisco via Manila on Tuesday (May 26) at 1750 hours.
She was on Singapore Airlines flight SQ 917 and was seated at 33H. She became unwell while on board.
The third confirmed case is a 28-year-old American woman working in Singapore. She returned to Singapore from Honolulu via Tokyo on Tuesday (May 26) at 2353 hours, on United Airlines flight UA 803. She was seated at 33C and became unwell on May 26.
The fourth confirmed case is a 28-year-old Singaporean man who returned to Singapore from Chicago via Hong Kong on May 25 at 0036 hours. He was on United Airlines flight UA 895 and was seated at 55H. He became unwell on May 25.
The patients are currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH).
In a statement, the Health Ministry said their symptoms are relatively mild and all the patients are in stable condition.
Contact tracing of their close contacts, including passengers on the same flights, is ongoing. They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral prophylaxis.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that passengers within three rows in front and behind the cases who have not been contacted by the ministry yet should call the MOH hotline at 1800-333-9999.
The affected rows for SQ 917 are 30-36; for UA 803 are rows 30-36 and for UA 895 are rows 52-58.
The Health Ministry has reminded those who have travelled in the preceding 7 days to affected countries to seek immediate medical attention once they develop influenza-like symptoms, and call 993 for an ambulance. This, it said, will help minimise the risk of infecting those around them.
Meanwhile, the MOH has also reminded all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions to continue to be vigilant for suspect cases.
71 close contacts on same flight as Singapore's 1st H1N1 confirmed case
May 27th, 2009 • Uncategorized
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health has identified 71 close contacts among the passengers on the same flight as the country’s first confirmed H1N1 patient.
Flight SQ25 was flying from New York to Singapore via Frankfurt. Twenty-three passengers disembarked at Frankfurt.
Of the remaining 48 passengers, eight Singaporeans and 14 foreigners are in Singapore and will be quarantined at home and given anti-viral drugs.
Another 23 passengers who were foreigners were apparently on transit at Changi Airport as there were no records of them entering Singapore. Another three entered Singapore, but have left for Malaysia.
Singapore authorities have informed the World Health Organisation of the situation.
Singapore’s first confirmed case was on a study trip to New York as a student of the Singapore Management University.
A student and a lecturer who came back with her had also turned up at Tan Tock Seng hospital because of non-specific symptoms. The remaining 18 students on the same study trip are still in North America.
The boyfriend and maid of the confirmed case have been identified as close contacts. Her boyfriend has been warded at Tan Tock Seng Hospital because of non-specific symptoms. He will be quarantined upon discharge. Her maid has already been sent to a quarantine centre.
The patient’s seven family members have not been quarantined because they are either overseas or have not been in sustained contact with her.
Hospital and ambulance staff who served the case will also not be quarantined because they were in full protective gear when managing the case.
This applies to the doctor and the staff who treated her at a clinic as well. The doctor was in full protective gear and the clinic staff who served her had only brief contact with her.
Other staff members were sitting more than two metres away. There was one other patient in the clinic, but was seated more than two metres away from the patient.
Singapore’s immigration authorities are now on the look out for all other close contacts who are currently not in Singapore.
In the event they enter Singapore before the end of the quarantine period on June 2, they will be quarantined for the remaining period.
Authorities will also keep tabs on those who are serving their quarantine orders in case they leave Singapore during that period.
Singapore's first H1N1 patient is an SMU student
May 27th, 2009 • Uncategorized
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s first H1N1 case is a 22-year-old student from the Singapore Management University (SMU).
She is a third-year Business Management student at SMU. She was on its New York Business Study Mission with 19 other students and a faculty member from May 14-24.
SMU said she returned to Singapore on May 26 early morning with the faculty member and another student. She went to see a doctor as she felt unwell during the flight.
She informed the university on May 27 when she found out she was tested positive.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said a fellow student and a professor who travelled with her, along with a friend who met her at the airport and the family maid, have also been quarantined as a precautionary measure.
They will continue to monitor their health and take temperature checks twice daily.
SMU has contacted the remaining 17 students who are still in New York.
Meanwhile, most of the other students in New York have taken the H1N1 flu test and are doing fine. One other student had come back alone earlier and is doing fine.
The man who sat next to the H1N1 victim was the faculty member in charge of her group.
Mark Chong, associate professor, Corporate Communications Practice, said: “Every morning at breakfast, I made it a point to take their temperature and during the trip, no one had reported any unusual temperature. I’ve spoken to several of the students who are still in North America and they were concerned about the health of their fellow classmate. They’ve done the responsible thing, and gone to a doctor for a check up themselves.”
The patient is now recovering in Tan Tock Seng Hospital and has not been back on campus since returning from New York. SMU is in close touch with her.
When contacted by Channel NewsAsia, the student sounded tired on the phone, saying she would prefer not to be interviewed at this time.
Mr Khaw said: “The doctors told me that she has no other underlying medical conditions so I think like most other patients elsewhere… her recovery should be uneventful, but we will see how things go.”
Associate Professor Leo Yee Sin, clinical director, Communicable Disease Centre, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, said: “We will be keeping her for daily nasal and throat swabs until it’s proven to be negative, before we discharge her. At this point, she behaves like a common influenza in a young individual. I anticipate that this is going to be an uncomplicated case.”
The SMU student passed the thermal scanner at the airport because she was not feverish but consulted a doctor later in the day and was referred to a hospital that handles suspected H1N1 flu cases.
The ministry said she was admitted for tests, which confirmed she was suffering from A(H1N1).
Mr Khaw said the risks of a spread of the virus to others in the city-state was low as the student was isolated within six hours of her arrival. “There really should be no cause for alarm, especially in this case - the patient has been most responsible,” Khaw said.
He said officials were now trying to track up to 60 people who had come in close contact with her on the plane, some of whom left the city-state on connecting flights.
The health ministry urged passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 to call the hotline at 1800- 333 9999.Bandidas the movieThe Lena Baker Story download
Malaysia detains JI leader Mas Selamat for two years
May 27th, 2009 • Uncategorized
KUALA LUMPUR - An Islamic militant described as Singapore’s most wanted man has been detained under Malaysian security laws for a two-year term, state media reported Wednesday.
Mas Selamat bin Kastari, the alleged head of the Singapore cell of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) which has links to Al-Qaeda, was captured in Skudai, Johor in April after being on the run for more than a year.
The 48-year-old escaped from his high-security detention centre in Singapore in February 2008 by squeezing through a toilet window and climbing over a fence, triggering a huge manhunt. He reportedly used an improvised floatation device to cross the narrow strait which separates Singapore from Johor state.
The state Bernama news agency said Mas Selamat has been detained for a two-year term under Malaysia’s Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for indefinite detention without trial.
“(He) will be detained for two years under the ISA in the Kamunting detention camp,” it quoted an unnamed source familiar with his capture as saying.
Bernama said any extradition proceedings with Singapore would be discussed only after the two-year term had been completed.
Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Najib Razak, confirmed reports that Mas Selamat had been detained under Malaysia’s Internal Security Act (ISA).
“This is Malaysia’s decision. He is a threat to Malaysia’s security, that is why he has been detained. Obviously, he’s a threat to Singapore and Malaysia,” he told a press conference.
Mr Najib said Malaysian authorities needed to extract “more information” from Mas Selamat and downplayed suggestions that Singaporean authorities would be anxious to have him in their custody.
“Singapore expected us to detain him,” he said.
Responding to media queries, Singapore’s Home Affairs Ministry said Singapore understands and respects the need for the Malaysian authorities to detain Mas Selamat for two years.
It added that Singapore will let the Malaysian authorities decide when Mas Selamat would be sent back to the Republic.
“While under detention, Mas Selamat will be undergoing a rehabilitation programme which will include debating with religious experts on Islam,” said the sources.
It is learned that an ordinary JI member, Abdul Matin of Ulu Tiram, who was picked up in April, is also being held for two years under ISA.
According to another source, a villager, Johar Hassan, who was arrested for renting his house in Kampung Tawakal to Mas Selamat had been placed under restricted residence.
Johar has to make periodical visits to the nearest police station and is not allowed to leave his house at night. He must seek permission if he wants to leave the district.
