Authorities probing surge of gastroenteritis patients at Owen Road
More than 180 cases have been reported, and many had patronised the Pek Kio Market and Food Centre.
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH), National Environment Agency (NEA), Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and PUB, Singapore’s national water agency (PUB) are investigating a surge of patients with gastroenteritis in the Owen Road area, they announced on Tuesday (May 24).
As of May 23, more than 180 cases have been reported, the agencies said in a joint press release. Investigation into the possible source has not concluded; however, as a precautionary measure, NEA will close Pek Kio Market and Food Centre for a thorough cleaning and disinfection from May 25 and 26. The market will re-open on May 27.
On May 19, MOH was alerted by a general practitioner at Owen Road that the clinic had seen an unusual increase in the number of cases of gastroenteritis since May 16. Further investigations found that other clinics in the area had experienced a similar increase. In all, more than 180 cases had sought medical treatment for symptoms such as diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and abdominal pain in the past week. The cases typically recovered within a few days. There were seven patients who are warded at Tan Tock Seng Hospital for observation. All of them are recovering well, the agencies said.
NEA, MOH, AVA and PUB said they had commenced investigations into the cause immediately on May 19, including collecting food and environmental samples from food outlets in the Owen Road area, as well as interviewing affected cases and screening stool samples from the affected cases. Their investigations found that the majority of the cases stayed near or visited the Owen Road area.
Many of them had also patronised the Pek Kio Market and Food Centre, although the investigations did not identify any specific food stall that could be the source of the reported cases.
Stool samples collected from cases tested positive for Rotavirus, commonly known as gastric flu.
In an update on Tuesday evening, PUB said it had conducted water quality tests on water samples collected from the tap points in the Pek Kio Market and Food Centre and the surrounding blocks, as well as from PUB watermains. It found that the water from these sources met WHO guidelines for drinking water safety.
The water agency said it was involved in investigations as part of "standard operating procedures".
During the period of closure, stallholders and Tanjong Pagar Town Council’s cleaning contractor will conduct a thorough cleaning of the centre as follows:
• Cleaning of all utensils (i.e. plates, bowls, cutlery) with food-grade disinfectants;
• Disinfection of all dining tables and chairs, food preparation surfaces, walls and floors; and
• Disinfection of the public toilets, including all toilet fixtures such as taps, door handles and wash basins.
MOH and NEA said they briefed the stallholders on Tuesday afternoon on the details of the cleaning and disinfection work. NEA will also be issuing advisories to other stakeholders in the area to remind all premises owners to maintain high hygiene standards of public contact surfaces.

I remember reading about cockroaches found in one of the Food courts of one of the integrated resorts.
Wasn't paying attention because I don't go to such places.
Now you see rats and crows invading hawker centers.....
It's ironic as back in the old days when food were supposedly less hygenic but you dun see such things.
Count how many percentage of PRC preparing food there and it may shed some light on who is the culprit.
Not cockraoche, it was dead rat found in one of the Teochew dishes at the integrated resorts foodcourt. The stall was ordered to close for days for thorough dis-infection. When it opened, the stall invited the public for free meal and of course, typical sinkies still queue up like hungry ghost.
Sinkingcore .....like to be called & boast to be some kind of HUB.....so we are now, Food Poisoning Hub, "Lao Sai" Hub....Stroke hub...now the Shit Press....everyday come out with STROKE survivor stories & the causes of stroke like we are some kind of STROKE hub...in the past, no one of 'god-status' has a stroke..so they don't give a damn you have stroke or not....it now also STROKE HUB..soon Prostate Cancer hub or Cancer hub....
Thanks for clarification.
With so many such cases it is getting hard to keep track.
Fortunately nowadays I chose to eat more home cooked meals for health reasons.

If you had eaten from the pastry shop in Goodwood Park hotel & then proceed to Pek Kio Market to eat "hay mee".....wonder what the prognosis be like?......the durian puff had salmonella or you have a weak stomach that gave you stomach flu... like now they are blaming the 180 cases...
When you doc says you have stomach flu....it is like "they don't have the faintest idea, on what went into your digestive system', so they are treating you for the symptom & let they condition cure itself.
But if you ate at the pastry shop & Pek Kio Market on the same day...we have to engage the same group of religious leaders who prayed for HSK to do likewise for you.... ha ha ha ha
Goodwood has lots of peenoise workers................. now I know what they do with their pee
i heard pek kio has a famous prawn mee stall.
