S'pore remains on yellow alert despite flu pandemic announcement
Singapore's flu alert level will remain at yellow despite the World Health Organisation's (WHO’s) announcement of a global H1N1 flu pandemic.
However, the Health Ministry says Singapore will gradually shift its strategy from stopping the spread of virus to caring for those who fall ill.
The ministry says that with a level six pandemic, the shift to mitigation measures may be inevitable. H1N1 flu cases have so far been reported in 74 countries and it may be a matter of time that there will be community spread in Singapore.
