The Ministry of Health (MOH) announced in a situation update yesterday (7 July) that they have confirmed another imported case of monkeypox in Singapore.
The case is a 36-year-old Indian national who lives in Singapore and had just returned from the US, although the update stopped short of specifying when he arrived in Singapore.
The patient reportedly experienced discomfort in his anus and other monkeypox symptoms on 28 June.
He also slowly developed other symptoms such as rashing over the next few days and he then sought medical treatment on 6 July, before testing positive for the virus on 7 July.
He was subsequently sent to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID), with ongoing contact tracing.
MOH added that there is no link between the 3 monkeypox cases so far.
