今日(7日)卫生部证实本地再添三起2019新型冠状病毒病例。有鉴于近期数个本地病例,都未曾到过中国、也和此前已知病例无关联,卫生部今日宣布将“疾病爆发应对系统”(DORSCON)警戒级别,从黄色升至橙色。 根据新加坡卫生部文告,当局称对涉及社群传播的情况有所准备,自上月以来政府采取系列防御措施以减少进口病例和社区传播风险。当局表示随着全球和本地疫情升级将逐步加强这些措施。 在警戒级别升橙色情况下,当局称将推出以下预防措施,以最大程度地降低社区中病毒进一步传播的风险。这包括建议暂不举办、或推迟不必要的大型活动。 若选择举办,需采取必要预防措施,包括体温检测、留意是否有出现呼吸道症状的人士、若近期有到过中国人士、拿缺席假、身体不适者,应避免参与活动等。同时: 确保活动场所通风良好,并有足够的洗手设施; 增加清洗公共场所的频率; 如情况许可应记录参与者身份 建议每天至少测两次体温 此外,卫生部呼吁雇主需确保雇员有定期检测体温、检查是否有呼吸道症状等,当局建议每天至少测两次体温;允许员工远程工作或分小组工作。 至于医院入口处也会进行温度检测;即日起学校将暂停校际和外部活动,直到三月学校假期结束为止。 对于个人,卫生部则提醒2019新冠病毒可透过的飞沫接触直接或间接地通过与这些飞沫接触的手来传播。故此最有效方法仍是保持良好个人卫生习惯,定期用肥皂和水洗手;避免接触脸部等等。 “我们建议人们在此期间不要握手,改用其他方式问候。” 身体不适的人应待在家里,如必须出门如前往就诊应带口罩。同时应避免与他人亲密持续接触。若有雇员发现有身体不适的顾客,应建议他立即去就诊。

新加坡卫生部今日透露,截至今午(7日)2时,我国再增三起2019新型冠状病毒确诊病例,且三人都是新加坡公民、近期未到过中国,也和其他已知病例没有关联。 这致使本地确诊病例迄今累计33起。 第31起个案是一名52岁男子,曾在上月6日、11日和17日去过邻国马来西亚,23日出现症状而前往就医,28日再到另一诊所看诊。他在本月1日前往樟宜综合医院,目前正接受隔离。他在昨晚11时许确诊。 上述男子曾住在淡滨尼24街,入院前曾到过麦波申路的新加坡基督生命堂(The Life Church and Missions),也曾向亲友拜年。 第32起病例,则是一名42岁在维多利亚初级学院工作的女子。她在本月2日出现症状,被送往百汇东岸医院(Parkway East Hospital),同样在昨晚11时确诊。据了解她住在巴西立伊莱雅路(Elias Road),出现症状后不曾接触同事和学生,惟曾前往樟宜机场和动物园。 至于第33起病例则在上月22至29日期间到过马国;上月30日出现症状,本月2日到盛港综合医院住院,同样在昨晚11时许确诊。 警戒级别升橙色 根据卫生部文告,当局仍在追踪曾与上述病例接触人士。有鉴于近期出现数个本地确诊病例,都与此前病例无关、近期也未到过中国,当局也把“疾病爆发应对系统”(DORSCON)警戒级别,从黄色升至橙色。 橙色级别仅次于红色。这意味着当局当局将着重“积极阻止或限制进一步的传播”。 迄今,至少四位确诊患者,都未曾到过中国,也和此前病例无关联。 卫生部长颜金勇在今日的工作小组记者会上表示,当局对这类情况已有所准备,目前关键在于快速的检测和管理在本地的传播。 两病患病危 不过,当局指今日再有一名患者出院,这是第二名新冠确诊病例的痊愈者。不过有两名病患病危,在加护病房接受治疗。 其中当局也表示对于昨日公布的第29起确诊病例(41岁国民),调查迄今也未发现与此前病例有关联,近期也未曾到过中国。
