Khaw underwent an arm operation for a fracture that took place a month earlier. During this period, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan took over the role as Acting Transport Minister. On 23 July 2020, Khaw Boon Wan was diagnosed with dengue fever after a sudden rise in temperature, his third time and was subsequently discharged two days later. Khaw is also known to the public for his strikingly similar looks to Singaporean actor Henry Thia, a fact Thia often acknowledges by jokingly referring to Khaw as his twin.
