SINGAPORE is into the last leg of its fight against Influenza A (H1N1) and Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said he now has three priorities: to focus on high-risk groups, to reflect on the lessons learnt so far, and to prepare for the next wave.

He said Singaporeans have done well in combating the virus, but urged them not to be complacent.

'Now you begin to have complicated cases, bound to get some sad stories, maybe deaths, going forward, as you see in other countries, so that may be hard to avoid. But our job is to minimise that,' he told reporters on the sidelines of the Health & You Exhibition at Suntec City on Saturday.
