Flu scare close to over but MOH still alert

The Ministry of Health has revised the Influenza A (H1N1) flu alert status from Yellow to Green amidst decline in the flu’s global activity.

In Singapore the alert level was first raised to Yellow on 28 April 2009, followed by Orange two days after and brought down to Yellow in May of last year. According to a Ministry of Health statement, some areas continue to have evidence of active but declining transmission, including East Asia.

More than 420,000 Singapore residents have acquired immunity from the Influenza A (H1N1) infection through vaccination since the onset of the pandemic, with the vaccine being available since November. MOH still encourages the public to ask about vaccination even with the Influenza A (H1N1) virus remaining to be mild.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
