Later on Sunday, the health ministry ordered that all those who attended a show in the Emek HaMaayanot area on Thursday must self-isolate after a positive case was identified among the audience. Later, however, the ministry retracted its order and said no quarantines are needed. The school year ended on Sunday for most high schools across the country; elementary schools end on June 30. The health ministry announced on Saturday that 45 children in Binyamina were diagnosed with the virus, and that they suspect that it is the Indian variant. The outbreak was identified at random, with a student from Kramim School in Rishon Letziyon testing positive to the coronavirus. Wider testing of students resulted in additional positive tests, including some with symptoms. The source of the outbreak is under investigation, including a familial connection of one of the students who recently returned from abroad. All samples were sent for genetic sequencing to the National Genome Database. The Indian variant is of concern to experts because it contains two protein mutations that may make it resistant to the vaccine. It is being examined whether this variant is more contagious than others. In March, India's health ministry reported a variant of the virus that includes two genetic changes, a commonality between two variants of the virus that was previously known. See? The Israelis call it as it is - the INDIAN VARIANT. We have to call it the Delta variant. 🙄 ↡ Advertisement 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grab biker who also wasn't wearing one had to stop right NEXT TO ME.??!! There are lots of space around.... so how to stop the spread with all these idiots around?? If you're not wearing a mask due to cycling or running, the least you should do it stand further away if there are people around you. Really no common sense. If others have no common sense and choose to stand near to you, then you can choose to move away from that person lo. No choice. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling the India variant an Indian variant, not simi Delta Force green berets variant. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see people pull down their mask to cough, some smoking and cough, some with mask but exhibit flu symptoms and the list goes on. Hope that makes you feel better. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, if only, Modi can stop all outbound flight from India; and prevent its citizen from leaving the country via land or sea also, than i think the whole world can recover faster.

Since the admin service officers are careers and not politically driven, why don't we just offer these equivalent people citizenship and jobs. Singapore loves foreign talents don't we? I talk to my hk colleagues they say exactly the same thing about their civil servants! I see you good, you see me good lah. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you good, you see me good lah. Your HK colleagues can't see the Singapore admin service and elected officials are always 1-2 steps behind them? That's odd. At the very least they can see all the salaries right? Singapore is at least 1.5 to 2x ahead of them, more so at the elected officials level. I bet if we offer these top HK civil servants citizenships and equivalent jobs here they can't wait to fly here. At the minimum they can live in much bigger house in Singapore. We get real talents and they get more salary. Win-win. Edited June 23, 2021 by Weez911 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
