As a precautionary measure, MOH said that it has conducted contact tracing for the two affected flights and those who might have come into contact with the traveller at the airport transit area.

It assessed that there were no close contacts, and hence no requirement for quarantine. However, 13 persons who may have casual contact with the traveller were put on phone surveillance for 21 days.

These persons will receive daily phone calls to ascertain their health status. Should they report symptoms that are suggestive of monkeypox infection, they will be medically assessed and may be conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases for further evaluation.

Monkeypox is a rare disease that causes a rash that spreads, fever, chills and aches, among other symptoms.
