因中国爆发新型冠状病毒疫情,被迫滞留在中国武汉的92名国人,终于在今天(30日)上午被撤离返回我国。不过一些出现肺炎症状的国人被迫留在当地,暂时无法回国。 据《亚洲新闻台》报导指出,国家发展部长兼财政部第二部长黄循财指出,让这些患病的国民和92名国人乘搭同一班机回国,会提高其他人的患病风险,因此并不安全。 他表示,之前被滞留在中国的国人中,有部分出现武汉肺炎的症状,因此必须留在中国进行隔离,但是当局仍然和他们保持联系,确保他们获得良好照顾。 他也补充说目前并没有滞留武汉的新加坡人人数,但是大部分都已经回国了,滞留人数不多。 黄循财表示,这些刚刚返回国家的新加坡人虽然没有出现肺炎症状,但是作为防疫工作,这些人必须被隔离14天。
根据卫生部今晚(30日)发布的文告,新型冠状病毒本地确诊病例再添三起,三名患者皆来自中国武汉。 此前确诊病例已达到10起,这使得本地确诊病例增至13起。当局强调目前未有在社区扩散的现象。 文告指出,第11宗确诊患者为31岁的来自武汉女性,他在本月22日,与此前通报的第四宗病例患者(36岁武汉男子,曾入住悦乐圣淘沙酒店)一起抵达新加坡。她在乘机时未出现症状,不过由于与第四位确诊患者有近距离接触,所以从本月26日就被令隔离。 然而这名女子在27日出现症状,被立即送往国家传染病中心,并在昨晚11时确诊患新型冠状病毒。 第12位患者 第12位确诊患者则是37岁的来自武汉女子,在22日抵达狮城,乘机时未显现症状直至26日。本月29日,她搭德士前往陈笃生医院,被列为可疑病例并送往国家传染病中心,随后在29日晚确诊患新型冠状病毒。 在入院前上述女子曾入住悦乐圣淘沙酒店(炮兵大道10,10 Artillery Avenue)、81 Princess酒店、位于芽笼的家庭套房觀景酒店(Home Suite View Hotel)。该病患坦言曾造访乌节路和芽笼,并曾乘德士出行。不过文告称短暂接触(例如在公共交通工具上或在公共场所)的感染风险评估低。 第13位为73岁患者 第十三位确诊患者为73岁中国女性。她在本月21日,与家人从武汉抵达新加坡,并在本月30日下午2时确诊新型冠状病毒,目前已在国家传染病中心接受隔离,情况稳定。 卫生部表示已展开医学调查和追踪曾于病患接触人士。该部称上述三位病患情况稳定,当局仍继续监督他们的健康情况。 “至于此前的10个确诊病例,目前没有出现病重现象,情况皆稳定且大多好转。” 当局称截至今日中午12时,我国164宗可疑病例竟测试结果呈阴性,至于其余49宗仍待处理。当局确认170名曾于病患近距离接触者,139人在国内,以及135人已被联系上并隔离。当局仍在持续连续剩余四名人士。
