Singapore Initiates Monkeypox Testing for Seafarers in New Protocol.
Singapore has implemented new measures to test foreign seafarers for monkeypox upon arrival, reminiscent of early COVID-19 pandemic protocols. Starting August 23, the health ministry will conduct temperature and visual screenings at the nation’s airports for inbound travelers from regions at risk of monkeypox outbreaks. Similar measures will also be in place at sea checkpoints for crew and passengers arriving from affected areas.
