  A tale of two cities: a comparison of Hong Kong and Singapore's early strategies for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

summary:
  After the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) outbreak, Singapore authorities had put in place a multi-ministry taskforce and a Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) framework that enables the whole-of-government to respond immediately to any disease outbreak and guide interventions 5 . The COVID (Temporary Measures) Act was passed by Singapore parliament on 7 April 2020, and under the act, the government has the powers to make regulations to further prevent or control the incidence or transmission of COVID-19.

  Antimicrobial stewardship program, a vital resource for hospitals during the global outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

summary:
  Locally, our country has placed a high emphasis on identifying and isolating COVID-19 patients in our bid to contain the spread of the virus. What is also important in outbreak situations like these is on-going engagement and education of prescribers to mitigate antibiotic misuse that tends to occur with viral epidemics / pandemics, undoing years of progress in antibiotic stewardship.

  Experience of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Singapore: Importation of Cases, and Defense Strategies at the Airport

summary:
  [2] [3] [4] There remains a concern that, even with such measures, prevention of transmission from imported SARS cases may be difficult for countries that receive many international travelers from areas badly affected by SARS. The country is therefore potentially vulnerable to importation of SARS cases that may initiate new outbreaks.

  A Comparative Assessment of Three Southeast Asian Tourism Recovery Campaigns: Singapore Roars: Post SARS 2003, Bali Post-the October 12, 2002 Bombing, and WOW Philippines 2003

summary:
  SE Asian tourism remained relatively buoyant throughout most of 2002 partially due to the perceived isolation of SE Asia from the Afghan and Middle East trouble spots. At the private sector level, the Bangkok-headquartered Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), the main travel industry body representing the Pacific Rim, placed the restoration of SE Asian tourism as its top priority project from the time of the Bali bombing and was supported by national tourist offices and peak travel industry bodies of all SE Asian nations and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

  Addressing Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Spine Surgery: A Rapid National Consensus Using the Delphi Method via Teleconference

summary:
  The efficacy of these swift draconian measures, guided in-part by bitter lessons learned during the 2003 SARS pandemic [3] , was reflected by the low rate of new COVID-19 cases, garnering Singapore international praise for what appeared an early flattening of the curve [4, 5] . However, given the inherently wide spectrum and time-sensitive nature in which spine pathologies tend to present, triaging spine cases while balancing the duties of a spine surgeon and managing COVID-19 cases has proven challenging (as discussed in a subsequent section).

summary:
  In: Plenary address by Director of HIV/AIDS, WHO at the seventh international congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific World Health Organization [WHO] position statement on condoms and HIV prevention The politics of emerging and resurgent infectious diseases. I test two related assumptions: (1) a higher perception of disease severity and personal susceptibility to SARS as compared to HIV/AIDS, contributed to the higher effectiveness of SARS prevention efforts; (2) the second assumption is two-fold: (a) in contrast to SARS, the overall negative social 'image' of HIV/AIDS as a disease associated with particular types of individuals tends to weaken people's perception of susceptibility; (b) correspondingly, low perceived susceptibility tends to discourage public support for robust preventive efforts at the community level.
