Consular Updates

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has yet to advise against travel to China at this point in time, as there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission of the H7N9 virus. The Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has issued the latest press release concerning the influenza A (H7N9). For more information, please refer to:

Singaporeans residing in, or travelling to China are encouraged to monitor the local developments through the media and their local contacts and to refer to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) for updates. Singaporeans should remain vigilant and observe measures recommended by local health authorities, including:

• Observe good personal hygiene at all times;
• Practise frequent hand washing (e.g. before handling food or eating, after going to toilet, or when hands are dirtied by respiratory secretion after coughing or sneezing);
• Avoid close contact with persons suffering from acute respiratory infections (e.g. someone who is coughing);
• Avoid contact with poultry, birds and other wild animals, and visiting live poultry markets. If contact has been made, thoroughly wash hands with soap;
• Adopt good food safety and hygiene practices and avoid consuming under-cooked meats and eggs; and
• Wear a mask and seek medical attention promptly if you become unwell with fever and cough while travelling in or within 2 weeks of being in any of the areas, and inform the doctor of the areas that you have travelled to.
