Patrons should not worry about catching tuberculosis (TB) from eating at the ABC Brickworks Market and Food Centre in Jalan Bukit Merah, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said in a Facebook post on Jan 14.


He shared that he had visited the market for dinner and found that it was “markedly quieter than before”, and added that hawkers told him many people were hesitant to visit because they were worried about catching TB.


Mr Ong said that most visitors are unlikely to catch TB just by visiting the hawker centre, as the disease is “spread after close and prolonged exposure, usually days to weeks”.


He added: “Therefore, a person may get TB if they live or work daily with someone infected.


“They cannot get TB by sharing cups, utensils or food, through hand shaking, or having the occasional meal at the hawker centre.”

TB bacteria spread through the air from one person to another. When a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, speaks, or sings, TB bacteria can get into the air. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.

TB is NOT spread by

• shaking someone’s hand
• sharing food or drink
• touching bed linens or toilet seats
• sharing toothbrushes
• kissing

When a person breathes in TB bacteria, the bacteria can settle in the lungs and begin to grow. From there, they can move through the blood to other parts of the body, such as the kidney, spine, and brain.

TB disease in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious.

People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day. This includes family members, friends, and coworkers or schoolmates.

Thought they forced everyone living in that block to do TB test? If unlikely to catch TB, then why force ppl living in different units to test? Don't tell me these ppl work in the same company?

 

[King.Koopa]

Please ask him to eat and share food with a active tb infected person to confirm

Once on medication think less chance to spread
But because must eat on time else might become resilience to the medicine

 

[Vegitto]

Did OYK went to the market and eat to demonstrate like the Japan PM eat raw seafood after radiation water release?

I used to tabao food from ABC and surrounding blocks’ kopitiams quite often. Now I try to avoid because the origin of this current TB cluster seems to be still related to the one reported in 2022 where several cases of TB were discovered in residents living in the same block but different units. If MOH can’t ring fence this cluster for so long, don’t blame us for trying to protect ourselves.
