All the rooms at Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa where Singapore's first confirmed case of the Wuhan virus and his travelling companions stayed in have been thoroughly cleaned and sealed off.

Four staff members who came into contact with the infected patient have also been told to stay at home since Wednesday. Shangri-La Group's executive vice-president of operations in South-east Asia and Australasia Josef Dolp said that all four are currently well and have so far not displayed any symptoms of the virus.

The infected guest, a 66-year-old Wuhan native, had checked in to the hotel with his family on Monday, Mr Dolp said.

The man had reported sick on Wednesday, before getting warded.
