SINGAPORE (ANN): Two new cases of Wuhan virus have been confirmed in Singapore, bringing the total number of infected people here to seven, the Health Ministry said on Tuesday (Jan 28).

With three confirmed cases within the last 24 hours, the trend of infection among Chinese nationals from Wuhan's Hubei province in Singapore is accelerating, in line with the sharp increase in global infection rates, said the ministry.

So new restrictions will include no entry or transit for travellers with passports issued in Hubei or those who have travelled there recently. Quarantine orders have legal force, with severe penalties for non-compliance, including possible jail time. There are an estimated 2,000 such individuals here, about 1,000 on on short-term visas. Half are visitors and half are residents.For the second group - returning residents and long-term pass holders with travel history to Hubei or with China passports issued in Hubei - they will be quarantined on their return.
