Dengue Cluster at Oxley
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
SINGAPORE: The National Environment Agency (NEA) has identified two dengue clusters in Orchard Road. The clusters are at the Orchard Gateway construction site and Eber Road/Oxley Rise area. As at 8.30pm Tuesday, there were 22 dengue cases in those areas. The first case was reported on 25 September. The Orchard Gateway construction site near 313 Somerset is a red zone for dengue. Any area with more than 10 dengue cases is considered a red zone or a high risk area. Authorities say what's known is that at least 15 who came down with dengue are workers at the site, while another three are individuals working near it. NEA said it cannot confirm if the three individuals had contracted dengue at their workplace or at their residence. NEA added that its officers held three rounds of inspections at the site and surrounding areas since the cluster was notified on 10 October. NEA said two mosquito-breeding spots were found at the construction site. The contractor has been asked to step up its daily inspection regime to ensure proper housekeeping, removal of potential breeding habitats and oiling of ground puddles. Its workers are also taking their temperature and applying insect repellent daily. NEA said the contractor will be fined for mosquito breeding and has been warned that NEA may impose a stop-work order if the situation does not improve. The contractor had stopped operations for five days to conduct a thorough check to remove potential breeding habitats. "I think the most important thing is to ensure the contractors and workers there make sure there is no water ponding, make sure that there are no (mosquito) breeding sites, and obviously, to be sure that (if you) have been affected, receive the correct treatment," said Ms Indranee Rajah, Senior Minister of State for Law and Education, who is also an MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC. NEA said its officers have also been sent to the Eber Road/Oxley Rise area to check for mosquito-breeding spots. - CNA/ir http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/...rs/857084.html Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
