We might really hit a thousand by today.... =(

Singapore confirms 91 new H1N1 cases, bringing total to 969

The Health Ministry (MOH) says it plans to stop listing affected countries on its website soon, as more countries stop reporting their cases.

It also says travel advisories are becoming less useful, as the risk of picking up the virus at home or overseas has evened.

It adds that the virus strain remains mild, except for high—risk individuals with underlying medical conditions where complications and even deaths can occur.

That is why MOH says its focus is on caring for those with more severe illness.

But it also says that managing the virus should be largely based on personal hygiene and those unwell with flu—like symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.


Well, Singaporeans, this is real ok. It didn't just happen to your neighbor country, it could just happen to your neighbor next door! So let's be more diligent in our washing up, and sanitizing. (Man, it's a boom for the sanitizing industry, but it's a MUST-Have for now)
