They did not wear masks??? Mask are very, very effective. Had they worn masks they'd be fine.
Masks do work. Its your sarcasm that does nothing but bely how dumb you are.

TTSH COVID-19 cluster: 5 Ward 9D patients, A&E nurse among 8 more to test positive
www.channelnewsasia.com
SINGAPORE: Five patients who had been warded in Ward 9D at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), as well as a nurse who works in the emergency department are among the eight new COVID-19 cases linked to the cluster there.
The TTSH cluster, Singapore’s first hospital COVID-19 cluster, has grown to 35 cases since a nurse who works in Ward 9D tested positive for the virus on Apr 27.
The cluster is also currently the largest of the country's nine active clusters.
The five patients were all transferred to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) for isolation on Apr 28.
FIVE WARD 9D PATIENTS
One of the patients is a 94-year-old Singaporean woman who was admitted to Ward 9D on Apr 9.
She was tested for COVID-19 on Apr 28, and her result was negative.
She developed a cough on May 2, and was tested again. This time, her result came back positive for COVID-19 infection.
Her serology test result is negative, indicating a likely current infection.
Another patients is an 82-year-old Singaporean woman who was warded in Ward 9D from Apr 21.
She was tested for COVID-19 on Apr 28 and May 1, and both results were negative.
On May 2, she was tested again even though she was asymptomatic, and this time her result came back positive for COVID-19 infection.
Her serology test result is negative.
The third patient is a 70-year-old Singaporean man who was admitted to Ward 9D on Apr 21.
He was tested for COVID-19 on Apr 30, and his result was negative. On May 2, he was tested again for COVID-19 even though he was asymptomatic, and his result came back positive.
His serology test result is negative.
The fourth patient is a 53-year-old Singaporean woman who had been warded in Ward 9D from Apr 26.
She was tested for COVID-19 on Apr 28 and Apr 30, and both results were negative.
She developed a cough on May 1, and was swabbed the next day. Her test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection.
Later on the same day, she developed a fever and runny nose. Her serology test result is negative.
The fifth patient is a 79-year-old Singaporean man who had been warded in Ward 9D from Apr 22.
His COVID-19 test on Apr 28 was negative.
On May 2, he was tested again for COVID-19 even though he was asymptomatic, and his result came back positive the next day.
His serology test result is negative.
TTSH STAFF MEMBERS
Three of the cases are TTSH staff members. They were tested as part of the hospital’s testing of all staff members there.
The first case is a 22-year-old Malaysian woman. She is employed by UEMS Solutions, a facility management company, and deployed as a porter at TTSH.
She tested negative for COVID-19 on Apr 28, but developed a sore throat the next day.
However, she did not seek medical treatment, and subsequently developed fever and body aches on May 1.
On May 2, she sought treatment at the TTSH emergency department and tested positive for COVID-19 infection. Her serology test result is negative.
The second staff member is a 25-year-old Singaporean woman who works as a nurse at TTSH's emergency department.
She tested negative for COVID-19 on Apr 30. She then developed a fever and sore throat on May 2, and sought treatment at TTSH emergency department.
Her test result came back positive on the same day. Her serology test result is pending.
The third is a 26-year-old Vietnamese woman who works as a nurse at Ward 9D.
Her COVID-19 test on Apr 28 was negative.
She was placed on quarantine at a dedicated facility. On May 2, she was tested again for COVID-19 even though she was asymptomatic, and this time her test came back positive.
Her serology test result was negative for the N antigen, which suggests the presence of early infection.
She had received her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Jan 18, and the second dose on Feb 8.
Since a nurse who works in Ward 9D first tested positive for the virus on Apr 27, four hospital wards have been locked down and close contacts of those infected, including patients, visitors and staff members who have been in the affected wards have been quarantined.
An elderly patient at TTSH who had contracted COVID-19 while warded died from complications related to the disease, MOH said on Saturday.
The 88-year-old woman is Singapore's 31st COVID-19 fatality and the first in more than a month. She had been staying in Ward 9D since Apr 14, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Apr 28.
TTSH completed swab testing of all inpatients in its main wards on Apr 30 and all results came back negative, said MOH on Sunday.
The hospital will also be testing all 12,000 staff on campus. As of Sunday, the hospital had swabbed 7,000 staff. Priority will be given to staff working in clinical areas over the next few days, said MOH.
Singapore reported 17 new COVID-19 cases on Monday.
Besides the eight people linked to the TTSH cluster, there are two other linked community cases and seven imported cases. There were no new cases in the dormitories.

Did i miss anything? All patients had no fever but all staff had fever? Were the staff vaccinated?
the last place u want a covid cluster is in a hospital
some more such a big cluster
patients are usually elderly in hospital with comorbodites due to age
comorbidities mean they are more susceptible to fatality if infected
comorbidities mean they probably can't be vaccinated
if tio covid, it's probably more fatal as compared to bangla dorms....
and now singapore has already the more deadlier and highly contagious indian variant...it is definitely more worrying as compared to the situation in dorms last year
not cursing anyone
just an observation

Pap encourage elderly people to work in the patient leegistration counter to give trouble to visitors ? 
will those elderly be asked to leeturn home and get paid instead of giving troubles ? KNN
will those elderly be asked to leeturn home and get paid instead of giving troubles ? KNNthose are healthy ones with zero or less complicated comorbidities and are probably vaccinated... no worries... those elderly patients who tio covid and can't be vaccinated, the end result is going to be different...Pap encourage elderly people to work in the patient leegistration counter to give trouble to visitors ?
Did moh contact trace ALL visitors from the start date of the ttsh cluster? KNN
i am sure they did
otherwise that cockanadoo @bigcockman wouldn't kpkb here about being exposed by his massager who visited ttshward 9
haaaa
Per day there are near thousands of visitors to ttsh not only to the ward KNN all are potential carriers now KNN my uncle think they only contacted those to ward 9 KNN
and with new indian variant, vaccine efficacy drops.... and result in more "breakthrough cases" where vaccinated people still get infected...
Possibility of COVID-19 Illness After Vaccination
Updated Apr. 21, 2021

A small percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will still develop COVID-19 illness
COVID-19 vaccines are effective. However, a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19 if they are exposed to the virus that causes it.
These are called “vaccine breakthrough cases.” This means that while people who have been vaccinated are much less likely to get sick, it may still happen. Experts continue to study how common these cases are.
Large-scale clinical studies found that COVID-19 vaccination prevented most people from getting COVID-19. Research also provides growing evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines offer similar protection in real world conditions. While these vaccines are effective, no vaccine prevents illness 100 percent of the time. For any vaccines, there are breakthrough cases. With effectiveness of 90 percent or higher, a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will still get sick and some may be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. It’s also possible that some fully vaccinated people might have infections, but not have symptoms (asymptomatic infections).
Other reasons why fully-vaccinated people might get COVID-19
It’s possible a person could be infected just before or just after vaccination and still get sick. It typically takes about 2 weeks for the body to build protection after vaccination, so a person could get sick if the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.
New variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 illness are spreading in the United States. Current data suggest that COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States offer protection against most variants. However, some variants might cause illness in some people after they are fully vaccinated.
If you get COVID-19 after vaccination, your symptoms might be less severe
Even though a small percentage of fully vaccinated people will get sick, vaccination will protect most people from getting sick. There also is some evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe in people who get vaccinated but still get sick. Despite this, some fully vaccinated people will still be hospitalized and die.
However, the overall risk of hospitalization and death among fully vaccinated people will be much lower than among people with similar risk factors who are not vaccinated.
CDC is monitoring COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases for patterns
CDC is working with state and local health departments to investigate COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases. The goal is to identify any unusual patterns, such as trends in age or sex, the vaccines involved, underlying health conditions, or which of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses made these people sick. To date, no unusual patterns have been detected in the data CDC has received.
COVID-19 vaccines are an essential tool to protect people against COVID-19 illness, including against new variants
COVID-19 vaccines help protect people who are vaccinated from getting COVID-19 or getting severely ill from COVID-19, including reducing the risk of hospitalization and death. CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as one is available to you. However, because people can still get sick and possibly spread COVID-19 to others after being fully vaccinated, CDC recommends people continue to take everyday actions to protect themselves and others, like wearing a mask, maintaining an appropriate distance from others, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and washing hands often.
