We read about the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) cases in the Middle East, and recently a major outbreak in South Korea.
Sooner or later, we will have a MERS case in Singapore. We must be ready.
I visited Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) this morning. I wanted to be sure that the medical team and facilities are well drilled and ready.
It's not just the medical team. The public too must be psychologically prepared, so that we won’t panic.
So if you have travelled recently and feel unwell, please see your doctor. Please tell him where you have been, especially if it was to the Middle East or South Korea.
If we have a MERS case here, please stay calm, listen to advice from the govt, but otherwise go about your daily lives normally. Let’s take care of each other. – LHL
