ingapore moved its disease outbreak response up one level to "orange" on Friday (Feb 7), after cases surfaced here which could not be traced to the source of infection.

Under the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon), "orange" means the outbreak is deemed to have moderate to high public health impact, though the situation is still under control. It is one step below "red", which signifies an out-of-control pandemic.

Extra measures are in place to reduce mingling in schools, tighten access to hospitals and limit large events.
