New type of pneumonia Singapore is in a strict quarantine regime Targeting its own citizens and permanent residents January 30 14:52

With the spread of new coronavirus infections in China, the Singaporean government is under strict quarantine.

For Singaporeans and permanent residents who visited China's Hubei Province two weeks before returning to Japan, they should be followed up for two weeks regardless of whether they have symptoms such as fever or coughs when returning to their home countries. Legally required.

Among the target subjects, those who have private rooms with toilets and bathrooms at home and can secure an environment where they can spend without contacting anyone are allowed to follow up at home.

On the other hand, those who cannot secure such an environment at home will be isolated and monitored in a special facility provided by the government.

Failure to comply will result in a fine of S $ 10,000 and / or imprisonment for up to six months.

In addition, the Ministry of Education of Singapore has been working for nursery schools, schools, cram schools and vocational schools, and for those who go to kindergarten or school, who have stayed in China for two weeks before returning to Japan and work for two weeks after returning to Japan. We recommend that you wait for your child to attend school and observe the progress at home.

Universities also take similar measures on their own.

"Singapore and its people are facing imminent risks, and they are taking steps to minimize them," said Lawrence Wong, Minister of State for Responsibility.
