SINGAPORE: A second Zika cluster has been reported at Serangoon North Avenue 1, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Friday (Aug 4). The first Serangoon North Avenue 1 cluster, which was announced on Jul 26, comprised three cases made up of residents living in blocks 125, 126 and 127. Nine breeding habitats - six of which were in homes and three in common areas - were found and destroyed, it said. NEA urged members of the public to take immediate steps to eliminate mosquito breeding habitats. NEA has since extended ongoing vector control operations in the vicinity to the new cluster, which was notified on Friday.




SINGAPORE - A second Zika cluster has been reported at Serangoon North Avenue 1, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Friday (Aug 4). Last week, the first Zika cluster, with three cases, at Serangoon North Avenue 1 was reported. "Most people infected with the Zika virus do not develop symptoms, which heightens the risk of a Zika resurgence as it may take some time before a reintroduced Zika virus is detected," NEA said. Four cases of locally transmitted Zika virus infection were confirmed at blocks 109, 115 and 116 at Serangoon North Avenue 1, with all four involving residents in the vicinity. As of Thursday (Aug 3), it has inspected more than 940 premises in the first cluster area.
