Influenza A

Last updated on 28 July 10

The Influenza A (H1N1) flu alert status is currently at Green. H1N1 is no longer the predominant influenza strain in Singapore. The nature of the H1N1 infection has been mild and has so far shown no signs of increase in severity.

MOH would like to thank all Singaporeans for putting up a good fight against H1N1 and would like to seek your continued cooperation. We are all advised to continue maintaining a high level of personal hygiene, to be socially responsible and stay away from work or school if unwell. Individuals at higher risk are advised to protect themselves against the infection and ask their doctor about getting vaccinated.
