With the three latest cases, Singapore has reported 19 monkeypox infections thus far.
Prior to this update, Singapore last recorded a monkeypox infection on 25 Aug, about 3 weeks ago.
MOH did not disclose further information regarding the cases, such as the patients’ age, condition, and date of infection.
Earlier in June, MOH issued an advisory urging members of the public – and in particular, travellers – to remain vigilant and practise good personal hygiene.

Those who experience symptoms such as a sudden onset of high fever and swollen lymph nodes are strongly encouraged to seek immediate medical attention.
Confirmed monkeypox cases are allowed to recover at home if deemed suitable by a doctor. However, cases with higher risk complications will continue to be monitored in hospitals.
