NEA and MOH are closely monitoring Boon Lay Place for potential Zika virus transmission.
 
One Zika case was reported in Dec 2023 at Boon Lay Place. No further cases have been reported since then, but persistent Zika virus signals have been detected in mosquito and wastewater samples , suggesting potential Zika transmission in the area (shaded pink in image). 
 
We advise residents in the area, especially pregnant women, to protect themselves from mosquito bites and to monitor their health closely. More information at: go.gov.sg/zika-feb2024
