Salmonellosis and diarrhoea epidemic in Singapore

The diarrhoea epidemic continues. I am told the polyclinics have been somewhat overloaded with diarrhoeal cases. I am assuming that this has been salmonellosis because that's what the MOH stats appear to suggest.

But MOH and AVA have persisted in their silence and one wonders what's going on.

Meanwhile, the latest 'hot-off-the-press' nationwide recall in US because of salmonella are chocolate covered nuts made by Kilwin's. I wonder if any of these chocolate products have made their way into Singapore.
