SINGAPORE — Local company associations have been stepping up efforts to advise their members on precautionary health measures amid a rise in the number of confirmed cases of the Wuhan novel coronavirus around the world including Singapore.

Among the measures, the associations have been sending out advisories to thousands of member companies in recent days, urging them to do their part to curb the spread of the outbreak. One association plans to hold more sessions of a regular health workshop.

Similarly, the Singapore Chamber of Commerce & Industry has updated more than 1,500 members about the situation in Wuhan. Meanwhile, SNEF said it will increase the frequency of its ongoing three-hour workshop on the prevention of infectious diseases in the workplace. The workshop, typically held once or twice a month, is targeted at human resource practitioners as well as safety and health facilitators.

For future events, SCCI members have to register with full contact details “to facilitate tracing if needed”. SCCI said it will also be playing a health advisory video at its upcoming events to advise members about the outbreak.
