Flu scare close to over but MOH still alert

The Ministry of Health has revised the Influenza A (H1N1) flu alert status from Yellow to Green amidst decline in the flu’s global activity.

In Singapore the alert level was first raised to Yellow on 28 April 2009, followed by Orange two days after and brought down to Yellow in May of last year. According to a Ministry of Health statement, some areas continue to have evidence of active but declining transmission, including East Asia.

More than 420,000 Singapore residents have acquired immunity from the Influenza A (H1N1) infection through vaccination since the onset of the pandemic, with the vaccine being available since November. MOH still encourages the public to ask about vaccination even with the Influenza A (H1N1) virus remaining to be mild.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
