The infected person is a 48-year-old British man living in Singapore, and his case is not linked to the previous cases here.

With his latest infection, this takes Singapore’s total tally for monkeypox to 5 (of which 3 were imported and 2 local cases).

MOH said that the man had tested positive for monkeypox on 13 July – he found rashes in his perianal region on 6 July before having a fever on 11th July.

He sought medical treatment on 13 July and was thereafter conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) later that day.
