SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Long queues formed on Monday (May 3) at four regional screening centres, as hundreds of people turned up for free Covid-19 testing offered to individuals with possible exposure to the active Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) cluster.
The Health Ministry (MOH) said last Friday (April 30) that while close contacts of the cases a total of 35 as at Monday have already been identified through contact-tracing, it is pre-emptively mitigating any potential risk of wider, undetected community transmission.

A public education campaign to promote healthy eating and lifestyle habits in the Malay/Muslim community was launched yesterday ahead of the fasting month of Ramadan, which starts tomorrow.
During the two-month campaign, the Health Promotion Board (HPB) will encourage the community to consume less sugar and choose healthier food options during Ramadan and Hari Raya Puasa, which falls on May 13.

THE Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore will be the model for a new office Britain is setting up to lead its efforts to improve and level up the public’s health.
Announcing the move on March 29, the country’s Department of Health and Social Care said: “This office and approach will be modelled on successful methods to this agenda internationally, such as in Singapore, which has a Health Promotion Board, and has pioneered new digital public health schemes such as their ‘National Steps Challenge’.”
HPB chief executive Zee Yoong Kang was heartened to see that Singapore’s efforts in boosting the health of people “are being seen as effective models” elsewhere.
