Everyone who had close contact at the EthCC or ETHLONDON with me should take extra precautions and/or get tested. My symptoms turned up the night before last and in general, they are; fever, breathlessness, cough, and a running nose – although you don’t have to have all of them to have it.”

In addition, the developer thanked all those who showed concern about his health. These include the co-creator of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin. Yong is isolated while recovering, but said that in Singapore the attention process seems to be mature:

I’ve been ferried via ambulance to be tested/warded, at the testing centre care is taken to prevent cross-contamination.
