专家表示,尽管各国已尽力减缓疾病的传播,但仍未能阻止病毒蔓延全世界,而且新加坡的武汉冠状病毒病例随时都会上升。

卫生部卫生科学长陈祝全向《海峡时报》透露,截至目前,新加坡尚未看见社区交叉传播的迹象,而且我国正积极寻找新的确诊病例,和隔离密切接触者,迄今为止隔离感染群可见成效。

“然而,现在要说脱离最糟糕的时期,仍为时过早”,他表示。

陈祝全表示,“鉴于世界各地的通报率不断,因此我们必须保持警惕。”

疫情自去年12月爆发以来,已迅速蔓延至世界各地,其中有40多个国家已出现确诊病例。目前的确诊病例总数已超过8万,大部分集中在中国地区,而周二(25日)中国境外的新确诊病例数也首次超过中国新确诊病例数,令人堪忧。

我国的目前的累计确诊病例也达96例,惟已有66人康复出院。
