Coronavirus outbreak: Singapore raises DORSCON level to orange; schools to suspend inter-school, external activities

With the “heightened risk posture” of DORSCON Orange, MOH said it will be introducing new precautionary measures.Organisers of large events should take necessary precautions such as carrying out temperature screening, looking out for respiratory symptoms such as cough or runny nose and denying entry to unwell individuals. Individuals who are unwell, on leave of absence or have recent travel history to mainland China should not attend such events.

Such plans can include allowing telecommuting or dividing the workplace into segregated teams. MOH will be implementing temperature screening and closer controls for entry points into the hospitals.Hospitals will introduce measures to care for patients with pneumonia, separately from other patients to reduce risk of transmission. Preschools and social and eldercare services will also limit the number of visitors to their premises, said MOH.

This crisis management plan did not exist in 2003, but was drafted after SARS and refined again in the wake of the swine flu pandemic in 2009.

All right folks. This horror movie is going to really start speeding up. We are seeing the bureaucracies start to wake up and take some action. But the audience knows it's too late. They are weeks behind, the monster is loose. coronavirus

And we're all familiar with DORSCON ratings :) For those not = Disease Outbreak Response System Condition with green, yellow, orange & red categories. Orange = disease deemed severe, spreads easily from person to person, has not spread widely & is being contained / monitored.🍸

Real or not

what does this mean?
