SINGAPORE - Singapore on Friday raised its coronavirus alert level and reported more cases not linked to previous infections or travel to China, a move that sparked panic-buying of essentials in some shops across the island.
With the disease reviving memories of SARS which killed more than 30 people in Singapore and hundreds worldwide, shoppers started clearing shelves of toilet paper, noodles and rice, and formed long queues in supermarkets across the island on Friday evening, videos posted on social media showed. “As there are now a few local cases without any links to previous cases or travel history to China, we have stepped up our risk assessment,” the health ministry said announcing the new orange alert level on Friday.
