They don't import infected indian with insane mind. Good point, if IMH stays clean throughout then it may be a case study. Is it mainly because of fewer visitations, less interaction, more open air, etc compared to other hospitals. It might be the demographics of the patients and/or families as well like you said.

One thing I'm always curious, why some of the airport staff in the arrival halls don't have to be decked in full PPE as seen in videos. They have direct and close contact with so many arrival passengers everyday, just a surgical mask isn't sufficient. That the virus can mutate to become more infectious was a known unknown. When you are faced with a known unknown hazard that has the possibility of upending your organization, it would be better to err on the side of caution. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic101 6th Gear May 13, 2021 Share May 13, 2021 (edited) Meanwhile our dear Speaker buay song that Taxi/PHVs not supporting TTSH frontliners by rejecting their request while the government keeps advising people to monitor their own health if they have been to places visited by confirmed cases, isn't this contradicting? Btw, who is supporting the drivers if they kena SHN or quarantined, they still have to pay for rental without any income. May I suggest all our 4G leaders to pick up the TTSH frontliners for a day to show their support instead of just paying lip service since we have come to this stage all bcos of their 'excellent decision'!

A large number of people working there originate from a particular country to the northwest of Singapore. Even if they are not new arrivals themselves, they will freely mingle with the new arrivals who are either their friends, relatives, or colleagues. As seen before, many of the jobs there can be conducted remotely (WFH) and yet they come to our sunny island - to work from home. These workers then decide to return to their home country after a couple of weeks here. During their exit test, they are then detected to be COVID positive. A bit too late by then. If mass swab testing is conducted there, I wonder how many cases will turn up? There's a reason why that area is fondly called Chennai Business Park. For tax and salary perks and bragging rights, Singapore is still the place to be.. imagine this tweet were to happen, stuck in Singapore but hearth is with mother land.. rather than reeeting omg 400000 n raising .. mammeeee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't fathom why a sane person can seek Singaporean not to be complacent but on other hand keep importing indian virus into the country. Beyond any human being comprehension. ↡ Advertisement 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
