Speaking to reporters during an event at Dhaka's Intercontinental Hotel on Wednesday, Momen said: “Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan called me in the morning. He told me one of the five Bangladeshis carrying the virus is in very critical condition." The Singaporean health authorities have not disclosed the names of any of the five expatriate Bangladeshis infected with the virus. "Foreign Minister Vivian told me that the virus-infected patients were being given the best medical care." "We do not know his name and the Singapore authorities have told us they will not disclose his identity to protect his privacy," said Abdul in response to a question.
