When the Zika virus first became a huge problem in Brazil, it
seems so far away. Well, no longer because there is now 41 confirmed cases of the
Zika virus in Singapore. None of the infected people are known to have
travelled to Zika-affected areas, which mean that the transmission occurred
locally.
Thus far, all of the infected people are in the Aljunied
Crescent and Sims Drive area but considered how pack Singapore is, there’s
almost no doubt that will change in the coming days. The good news is that 34
of the 41 infected people had recovered and there are no reports of any of the
infected being pregnant.
However with no cure of the virus in sight, chances are the
Zika virus is here to stay in Singapore. Let’s just hope they find a cure or a
vaccine quickly.
