I find masks in sg always cannot handle any crisis de. You see during the haze period, all mask also sold out completely and no replenishing of stock at all. Again, showing their lack of understanding and empathy of the difficulties on the ground. Twice already. Last time haze, and now this. Once this blows over I'm going to stock up my own apocalyptic supplies instead. ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mask is for those who are not well and/or coughing to prevent their cough droplets to spread. But i guess due to our kiasu culture everybody buy like no tomorrow. How many of these who buy actually wear i am not sure as i observed the usage rate is like 10% or less. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic January 28, 2020 Share January 28, 2020 16 minutes ago, BabyBlade said: Wuhan virus: Singapore to impose travel restrictions on holders of Chinese passports issued in Hubei SINGAPORE: Authorities will stop entry or transit for new visitors who have travelled to Hubei in the last 14 days, as well as holders of Chinese passports issued in Hubei, as Singapore steps up measures against the spread of the Wuhan virus. The restriction will start at noon on Wednesday (Jan 29), the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Tuesday as it confirmed two new cases, bringing the tally up to seven. With immediate effect, there will be a suspension on new visas being issued for holders of Chinese passports issued in Hubei, as well as previously issued short-term visas and multiple-visit visas. The provision of visa-free transit facilities for such travellers is also suspended. If u were a PRC n see the situation back home liddat n not enuf hospitals, easy to juz hop on a freedom flight to Sg and if really infected, got better facilities here to be treated, not need to Q up, free stay at quarantine facility. Sounds like a good deal Glad ICA finally closed this loophole b4 we got swarmed 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kar_lover Supercharged January 28, 2020 Share January 28, 2020 Can someone tell me what happens after contact tracing is done, and the person is found? What's next? For example, my company has a chartered bus. If say one of my staff who uses the bus is later found to be infected, that means all the staff who sit the same bus as him is part of the "contact tracing" group. So should I provide all the names of all the staff who were in the same bus with him to MOH? What happens after that? Will they all be quarantined? Should all of them stay home for 14 days to see if they are symptomatic? Or just submit their name and number and MOH will take over? In fact not only those who sat with him in the bus but actually all staff would be deem as potential "cases" as he would have walked around the office, shared the same lift, toilet, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reports that claimed that PRC and PR buying in bulk and shipping back to CN. Ironic isn't it. These were manufactured in CN in the first place. Anyway.. I'm going to make my kids wear them before getting into trains since I don't drive them to school. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
