SINGAPORE — Close to 4,000 blood samples were tested and found negative for Zika between February and August this year, before the first locally-transmitted case of the infection was confirmed, revealed Health Minister Gan Kim Yong as he explained the authorities' handling of the outbreak which began late last month.Sharing the lessons gleaned from the experience so far, Mr Gan also said that the number of cases detected in recent days has been "coming down", but Singapore cannot afford to be complacent."It is still early days to ascertain what the long-term trend of Zika infections will be," he said, as he called on grassroots leaders, volunteers and residents to continue working together in tackling Zika.
