MUIS, MOH issue advisory to Muslim pilgrims
Islamic Religious Council of S'pore, health ministry warn about alarming spread of novel coronavirus in Saudi Arabia
SINGAPORE -- The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), working with the Health Ministry, has issued a health advisory on the novel coronavirus, now known as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
The advisory issued today (May 18) follows reported cases of the virus in Saudi Arabia.
The statement said that those going on the Umrah pilgrimage are strongly advised to be vaccinated against influenza and meningitis. Pneumococcal vaccination for persons aged 65 years and above, or with chronic medical conditions, is also recommended.
Pilgrims are urged to observe good personal hygiene at all times, and practise frequent hand washing with soap and water before handling food or eating, after going to toilet, or when hands are dirtied by respiratory secretions after coughing or sneezing.
Persons who are sick are reminded to cover their nose and mouth with tissues when sneezing or coughing, and to dispose of the tissues properly.
Pilgrims should wear a mask and seek medical attention promptly if they become unwell with fever and cough and/or breathlessness while travelling or within 10 days after returning to Singapore, and they should also inform their doctors of their travel history.
MUIS said it has communicated the advisory to the Association of Muslim Travel Agents, Singapore (AMTAS) for them to ensure that the pilgrims observe the advisory.
While in Saudi Arabia, pilgrims are also advised to observe the health advisories issued by the Saudi Health authority.
MUIS said it will continue to monitor the developments and work closely with MOH and the Saudi Health authorities, and will advise AMTAS and the pilgrims accordingly. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
