H1N1 cases rise to 701 in Singapore
H1N1 cases rise to 701 in Singapore
Posted: 30 June 2009 1951 hrs
SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed 72 new H1N1 flu cases, bringing the tally to 701 so far.
The Health Ministry says most cases are mild and to date, 281 patients have fully recovered and the rest are recuperating.
Singaporeans should carry on with their usual activities whilst observing good personal hygiene at all times. If unwell, they should see a doctor, stay away from work, school or crowded places, and rest at home.
Investigations are on-going for the 72 new cases. Of the 64 cases investigated on Tuesday, there were 42 local cases and 22 imported ones.
Of the latest cases investigated, the largest number of new cases were linked to the Republic Polytechnic, bringing the total number of cases there to 77.
Over 1,900 second- and third-year students have signed an online petition calling on the polytechnic to suspend classes, not just for first-year students but for them as well.
The polytechnic said it understands the students' concerns and has also received feedback from them through internal channels although it has not received any petition formally.
The school added that it is monitoring the situation closely and is prepared to take additional measures if required to safeguard the well-being of staff and students.
Another three new H1N1 cases were found linked to an orientation camp at the National University of Singapore, bringing the number of cases in that cluster to seven.
Clementi Camp had two new cases raising the total there to 55, while there was one new case each from the Raffles Institution Boarding School, Butter Factory, Maju Camp and Pulau Tekong Camp clusters.

SINGAPORE: Samsung Singapore has confirmed its first H1N1 case. The person is an employee from South Korea who is in Singapore for training.
In an email reply to 938LIVE, the company said the employee was diagnosed as being infected on Friday.
He displayed symptoms of the virus when he reported for work and was immediately sent to hospital.
Samsung said he is currently recovering well in hospital.
All 25 employees from Samsung Singapore were tested for H1N1 and all tested negative for the virus.
As a precautionary measure, all 25 employees are exempted from office duties, and will operate from home until Friday, July 3.
The company said it has since thoroughly disinfected its office.

Project Updates / Status
It is quite some time that I provide some updates about the project. In the last post, I mentioned that I am working on particle trajectories due to the field emission caused by different current regime.
At the first look, the problem seems to be quite difficult. But is it that hard? To track the particle trajectories, understanding Newtonian physics or classical physics is needed and apply the equations of motions to the problem would solve it.
Now, let's us stop and think about the problem.
But is simply applying the equations using classical mechanics valid at high electric fields? If not, how can we modify to make them valid at space charge conditions?
