Quarantining the entire crew in Singapore for 21 days is overkill.
The index person had developed blisters (oh and by the by, went to a "massage parlor" in Singapore despite being ill, how reckless is that!) so that the crew rest area is a possible source of infection as Monkeypox, like smallpox can be spread by fomites.
Thus this is not overkill but standard epidemiology by the Singapore health officials.
