If you are the only one on SHN and the rest of the household are not, you are not allowed to do your SHN at home. But people have been caught for lying until SHN officers go to spot check. my views on this kind of people has always been the same. Put their names on newspapers... go hard on them. similarly if you are on MC and still go out for a meal gathering of 8 people, you deserve some publicity too. I feel there is always that portion of population without common sense which cannot be convinced nicely. The stick is really the way to go... and it is kind of necesarry for the public good. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior consultant at the National University Hospital’s division of infectious disease Professor Dale Fisher said that the community cases are a “major test” for Singapore. “The question is whether our public health systems and community behaviours can respond adequately to avoid another circuit breaker,” said Prof Fisher, who is also chair of the national infection prevention and control committee at the Ministry of Health (MOH). He urged people not to go out unnecessarily for the next few weeks and to minimise mingling with people outside their households. He encouraged people to be “obsessed” with wearing masks properly and exercising hand hygiene, and social distancing “especially when eating and drinking”. “I am very concerned that we could lose control, yet we know by tightening our efforts we can defeat this surge together. This has to be a community effort,” he said. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noobcarbuyer 5th Gear May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 More concerningly, it appears that the short term visitors to the TTSH ward 9D are infected so readily? I would have though they would be considered transient contacts? Given the well ventilated nature of Class C wards, and the stringent safe management / infection control measures etc, it is quite interesting that so many visitors can still be infected. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind30 Turbocharged May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 (edited) One thing I noticed about the 11 new cases... 7 patients 3 visitors and 1 staff. silver lining is not many staff got it. It might shows the vaccination really helps or maybe staff is more on the ball. Actually so many data has shown vaccination is really important so don't get second thoughts. Get vaccinated ASAP.
