Asked about the surge in COVID-19 infections in Italy, Singapore Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong told journalists at a news conference on Tuesday (Feb 25) that the country is “very mindful of the risk in Italy”.
It comes as Singapore bars visitors who have recently been to Daegu and Cheongdo, the epicentres of the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea: https://cna.asia/32pePlu

Dear Everyone. you are around germs every second of your lives. Your immune system needs germ exposure to be healthy. your mouth alone has millions of germs. MM arr
DOCTORS FROM ITALY:
As doctors and health professionals (our AMPAS association currently has 714 registered doctors) we are with regret as we are witnessing an irresponsible spread of a generalized and unjustified state of panic…
The spread of Coronavirus Covid-19 does not seem particularly different from the usual spread of other flu viruses, at least on the basis of the official data currently available.
Epicentro website writes:
"Globally, the flu virus affects between 5 and 15% of the adult population every year (that is, from 350 million to 1 billion people)."
The WHO then defines the effects better: “Between 3 and 5 million cases of influenza reported annually evolve into complications that cause death in about 10% of cases (ie from 250 to 500 thousand people), especially between population groups at risk (children under 5 years old, the elderly and people with chronic diseases). "
The 2360 deaths of Covid-19 therefore appear to be a very small number (less than 1%) compared to the annual mortality expected from normal flu.
In the face of what appears to be greater contagiousness than other infectious diseases and diseases, this coronavirus is therefore not very lethal and its spread absolutely less than any influence of the past.

They are really DOCTORS comparing the flu on stats of 2360 deaths when the coronavirus hasn't established itself like the flu? How many people do you know has had the flu vs how many do you know have Covid-19?
Faced with the incompetence and shame of the Italian government, Japan is different. Japan found that the new crown virus was originally the birthplace of the United States. The Asahi Shimbun immediately issued an announcement stating the facts to make the ugly face of the United States public. This is the difference in personality.
By the time the WHO declares a pandemic, it might be too late.
The Japanese government is a liar. The test has been deliberately suppressed and the number of Covid19 infections has been reduced.
Talk and talk, talk until the virus die ah??
But still no travel ban imposed from/to singapore, it’s very alarming
Its not they r doing a good job, rather others are more screw up.
Why are the news not reporting the static case number anymore?
Please be transparent from here on now of how many current cases happening, people are worried and have the right to know.
Seen a video that there is a report that this virus is reported in crotia and in switzerland… an hour ago…
Not Good….
Worried sick…. following the news…
Singaporean and chinese must stay at your own country.
Is there any direct flight from Singapore to daegu ? Loser
Protect the people of Singapore.
Low Ren Wong and Ah Gan didn’t know what 一大粒is.
So in short they will only act after a widespread. Economy is fuel for government meaning more budget and there is no oversight on this entity. The big question is if every countries health ministry just follow what WHO says, then whats the use of health ministry if we can just get direct instruction from WHO which would be faster?
Great points. But remember all you need is one person to spread the virus rapidly. Just take South Korea for example. Things change within a matter of days.
Originated in China??? Used in an attempt to bring down Trump??? ……it’s Putin’s fault
Nazi countries need to stick together–China, Singapore, USA,
I think by then, other countries will restrict the affected nations..but by then mostly will be busy tackling their widespread local cases (no time for other nations )
According to
news reports on 24
February , 2020
, seven persons
have died on
account of Coronavirus
in Italy so
far while over
200 persons are
confirmed having been
infected. A news
report published in
a daily at
the same time
has referred to
the statement of
the Director General
Of Health Services
in W.H.O. which
said that its
experts were travelling
to the heart
of the epidemic.
The African leaders
are said to
have been told
to prepare for
the outbreak’s global
spread. In this
context , it
may be apt to refer
the readers to the
following message in
an email of 3rd February
2020 this Vedic
astrology writer had
sent to a
friend CEO of
a company in
Asia:-
“ Feb 3 ,
2020 :
I may
share with you
that the ailment
is likely to
enormously aggravate after
11 February 2020 while
three months period
from April to
June 2020 looks to
be one of
major worrisome”. And
, it is
on record that
there was sudden
unprecedented upsurge of
cases reported on
12 February and
after for some
days. In fact
, as soon
as the ailment
came to light
widely on 14 January
2020 , this writer
had alerted by
saying that the
problem was likely
to assume more
striking power and
stay longer. It
could have major
worrisome concerns from
April to June
and October to
December in 2020
with potential tendency
to reach out
as far as
December 2021 in
vulnerable countries unless an
effective solution was
found out meanwhile.
As regards
Italy , this
Vedic astrology writer
had alerted the
country through article
-“ Potential of
stars for Italy
in soon coming
year 2020” –
published on 15 December
, 2019 at http://www.astralis.it/Kumar02.htm. The predictive
alert had suggested
for taking of
more care and
appropriate strategy in
Italy against health
hazards during mid-March
to June 2020.
It was also
mentioned that the
scenario can also
mean worrisome ailments
involving respiratory system
in the body.
This writer
had also alerted
Italy through said
article while covering
period near mid-March
to June in
2020 – “
Industry related to
entertainment and the
like may face
some roadblocks and
stiff competition”. In
this context ,
it is also
apt to refer
readers to the
news report which
appeared on 25 February
2020 to say
that ‘ Impossible’ film
has been halted
over fears of
the Coronavirus outbreak
in Italy.
Going by
news reports in
February , 2020 ,
it can be
said that the
alert for Italy
as well was
closely accurate.
Note :- This
writer’s another monumental

Why didn't u both describe Italian government and citizens idiot ? It's not real u, dun surpress yourself! Mr Chan never ask u to wear casio watch to look as if u are serving the people with a low profile humble attitude? Pls dun take singaporeans life as a gamble by giving 4 pathetic mask to each family.
Who would buy anything from China. The stock market will crash.
Every country on earth will be locked down. This is a global pandemic that will kill millions of people.
SAY THANK YOU TO XI JING PING, FATHER OF WUHAN VIRUS.
Cna news further reported

Could be from 30k work permit holders return)
Risk level
Orange may be lowered to yellow

Economy and human interaction should not be halted
Which means travels will resume eventually
Since the world has already been affected
Take it in your own stride
Take care
God bless

SINGAPORE PLEASE STOP ALL TRAVELLING BEFORE IT BECOMES AN END OF THE WORLD
Breaking news: committee decides to bar singaporeans from Singapore
ERROR: COUNTRY NOT FOUND
If mas selamat is not INSIDE SG, then I confident to say he must be OUTSIDE SG
CCS is the best Calibre . I love his SCCCI audio. He can tell us more jokes
This is All China's Fault.
They are totally to blame for spreading this manufactured virus.
Thanks china, for lying to the world.
Is spreading like a plague.
Singaporeans need to learn of being more appreciative towards their competent leaders. It's very important to find a balance in terms of openness and self-isolation. Singapore can definitely be safe if it has the same policy as North Korea, but then its economy will be doomed.
I wish the US government would give us straight forward info like this.
In italy was two day corona Man was in Milano for football game and come to Croatia with virus. Austria get also one from Italy. So its going fast .
"Volume of travel" means nothing. It takes only one person to spread the virus. The outbreak in Iran has been attributed to two people from China.
Hilarious!! These guys just repeated the same answer by paraphrasing ( same idea differs words) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Should we bar visitors from Indonesia. Since there are no reported cases.
Ohh look another. China man lying to the world, suprise.
If only the rest of the world had such competent people in charge of tackling the problem.
Irrespective of Which Country
An infected is from
Only One infected Supet Spreader can transmit and infect Hundreds.
Italy , Korea , Japan, Cruise ship are sighted Examples.
The Sharp rise in Incremental numbers are
Challenging for any Country.
Immediate One month total ban effectively for Visitors
from all Countries is Certainly a Big Ask.
Put aside the Economy Fallout . Hard Measures only way foward to Contain Alien spread.
why is this guy's drinking glass slanted? rofl
gky seems like he's not prepared at all & got no answers and had his day saved by lw & that bui bui. Super well paid millionaire ministars, what a joke.
What do you think?
Commercial interests put first it appears ! Big mistake
Safe than sorry. Prevention than cure. Security first and economy second. The country will be paralyzed to put priority the other way round.
