A netizen complained about her block's roof that has openings for birds to enter, causing their feathers and droppings to be all over the place. She hopes the Town Council can take action.

The Zika outbreak at the Sims Drive/Aljunied Crescent area the past week must have been unsettling for many. What seems like a remote possibility has now become a dreaded reality. Yesterday, while my colleagues and I were still combing through our clinic patients' records to identify possible Zika cases we'd missed earlier, there were many NEA officers working in pairs under the hot sun, inspecting every nook and corner to eradicate mosquito breeding. Their jobs were no less significant than ours. Similarly, we can all contribute and play a crucial role by keeping our environment clean to prevent mosquito breeding and practise social responsibility to halt community transmission.

After reading the terrifying experience of a pregnant Sims Drive resident who lives in the epicenter of the zika outbreak, netizen Sherynn Ellyadi who also lives in the same area shared her fears and trepidation of living in the infected area. She shared the extreme measures she had to take to protect her unborn child from the dangers of zika.

Aljunied Crescent is now the hotspot for zika virus after the MOH's slow handling of the initial outbreak. If MOH gave us early notice, we would have taken measures to protects ourselves more. I live in Sims Drive and my pregnant wife is living in fear since news of the zika outbreak was released. She is living in so much fear that just one bite from a zika infected mosquito will cause irreparable brain damage to our child. It does not help that there are so many construction sites in the area. All these constructions sites are prime locations for mosquitoes to breed due to the lack of cleaning up by the workers.
