Singapore confirms 91 new H1N1 cases

Singapore confirms 91 new H1N1 cases, bringing total to 969

The Health Ministry (MOH) says it plans to stop listing affected countries on its website soon, as more countries stop reporting their cases.

It also says travel advisories are becoming less useful, as the risk of picking up the virus at home or overseas has evened.

It adds that the virus strain remains mild, except for high—risk individuals with underlying medical conditions where complications and even deaths can occur.
