The quarantine period for close contacts of monkeypox cases will also be adjusted to 14 days, followed by seven days of monitoring for symptoms via regular phone calls, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
According to the ask.gov.sg website, those on phone surveillance can leave their home as long as they are well. They should contact an MOH duty officer if they are unwell.
The Health Ministry said that these updated public health measures are in line with the latest local and international data, including those from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Previously, all confirmed cases of monkeypox were isolated in hospitals until they were non-infectious.
As part of a pilot to transit monkeypox cases to recover in the community, eight cases were transferred from public hospitals to an isolation facility on Jul 29, said MOH. These cases are all currently in stable condition with mild symptoms.
From Monday, all confirmed cases assessed by the public hospitals to be clinically stable will be taken to the facility with round-the-clock telemedicine support.
“These cases will recover in the monkeypox isolation facility until they are deemed to be non-infectious and fit for discharge," said MOH.
