SINGAPORE – Ninety-two Singaporeans have arrived home safely from Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak.
The returning Singaporeans were set to undergo medical screening upon arrival at Changi Airport. Those with fever or respiratory symptoms will be taken to designated hospitals for further examination, the ministry said. The remaining passengers, including the MFA consular officers who facilitated the return of these Singaporeans from Wuhan, will be quarantined for 14 days.
Precautions taken to limit physical contactIn a statement, Scoot said, that it “mounted a Singapore-Wuhan flight TR120 on 29 January 2020 to fly back some of these affected passengers who wished to return to Wuhan”. Flight TR120 from Singapore to Wuhan departed Singapore at 10.20pm on Wednesday and landed at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport at about 3.00am on Thursday.
The airline added that temperature screening was conducted at check-in and before boarding, and any passengers who had a fever were not allowed to board. “Surgical masks were provided to all passengers, and all operating crew were required to wear N95 masks and surgical gloves on board the flights. The flight operated with limited in-flight service, where there was no distribution of food and beverages or sale of duty-free products. Food packs were pre-placed on the seats,” the airline added.
