The confirmed case left Barcelona on June 1 and arrived at Changi Airport on June 2.

The Ministry of Health said on Monday it was informed of the development last Saturday by its New South Wales counterpart.

It added that as the person did not enter Singapore or interact with others in the community, there is currently no significant risk of community transmission. Should they report symptoms that are suggestive of monkeypox infection, they will be medically assessed and may be conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases for further evaluation, said MOH.
