Yesterday’s Sole Community Case Has Come from The US in Oct & Was Earlier Suspected to Have Dengue

The sole community case reported on Thursday (5 Nov) was a 39-year-old man who arrived in Singapore from the United States on 11 Oct.

The man is a short-term visitor whose wife is a permanent resident here.

He has no known links to past infections.

Like most visitors, the man was placed on stay-home notice upon arrival. He was tested on 22 Oct, while still under quarantine at a dedicated facility, and his result came back negative.

Given that his stay-home notice started on 11 Oct, the man likely left his facility on 25 Oct.

However, 5 days later on 30 Oct, he developed a fever sought medical treatment at a general practitioner clinic.

The doctor diagnosed him with suspected dengue.

He later developed symptoms of acute respiratory infection and was tested for Covid-19 on 2 Nov.

On 4 Nov, his test came back positive, and he was taken to the hospital.
