The health ministry said a 75-year-old Singaporean woman and a 64-year-old Indonesian man died on Saturday morning. Singapore has confirmed 385 cases of the infection and had so far managed to avoid any fatalities since the outbreak began in the city-state in late January. But we must take courage and not give into our fears," Gan Kim Yong, Singapore's health minister, told reporters. The Singaporean woman who died had a history of chronic heart disease and hypertension. Prior to the Indonesian man's arrival in Singapore on March 13, he had been hospitalised in Indonesia for pneumonia, and had a history of heart disease.
