mtf is getting from bad to worse
bunch of idiots
555 cases take so long to count
really a bunch of useless overpaid ministars

Don't you know how this lying govt works?

I suspect some of the count is deferred to another day. Eg, today got 700.
145 of those will be put into tomorrow's/future count. Ditto for tomorrow's numbers.

Same way of counting is used when Singapore hits a recession. They average it out on a longer time period so that the statistics don't show a technical recession.

 

[zhihau]

Can POFMA either CNA or ST?

 

[zhihau]

555 or 550?

buy 4D very important number must zhun zhun one leh!

550 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases in Singapore; large cluster identified at Chinatown Complex​

Chinatown Complex will be closed until Sep 15 and all staff will be tested for COVID-19.

Elderly residents are seen near Chinatown Complex in Singapore on Sep 23, 2020.
12 Sep 2021 12:21AM (Updated: 12 Sep 2021 01:04AM)

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 550 new locally transmitted COVID-19 infections as of noon on Saturday (Sep 11), comprising 486 community cases and 64 dormitory residents.

Among the local cases, 145 are seniors above 60 years old, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Two more large clusters were identified, including Chinatown Complex with 44 new cases.

This brings the total number of infections linked to the cluster to 66 - comprising 58 stallholders and assistants, four cleaners, one safe distancing ambassador and three household contacts of workers.

The other large cluster is PCF Sparkletots Braddell Heights, located at 335 Serangoon Avenue 3. There are three new cases and a total of 22 infections linked to the cluster.

Transmission at the pre-school took place among students in the same class, with further spread to household contacts of cases, said MOH.

Saturday's number of local infections is a slight dip from the 568 cases reported the day before, breaking a chain of five consecutive days of increases.

TESTING FOR STAFF AT CHINATOWN COMPLEX​

Chinatown Complex will be closed to the public until the end of Sep 15 to break any potential chain of transmission and enable deep cleaning, said MOH.

All staff working at Chinatown Complex will be tested for COVID-19.

Those who checked in with SafeEntry from Sep 8 to Sep 11 will be issued health risk alerts. These people are "strongly encouraged" to go for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test as soon as possible and to reduce their social interactions for 14 days, said the Health Ministry.

For those who visited Chinatown Complex but did not receive a health risk alert, free testing will be extended to them as well.

Members of the public who were at Chinatown Complex between Sep 8 and Sep 11 are advised to monitor their health closely and minimise social interactions for 14 days from their date of visit. They should see a doctor immediately if they feel unwell.

OTHER LARGE CLUSTERS​

MOH said it is "closely monitoring" 14 large clusters with new cases, which were ringfenced through tracing, testing and isolation.

Seventeen cases were each added to the COVID-19 clusters at 30 Sunview Way construction site and Sembcorp Marine Tuas Boulevard Yard.

Six more cases were added to the largest of the bus interchange clusters, at Toa Payoh. It now has 210 infections linked to it in all.

Apart from the local cases, five imported infections were reported on Saturday, taking Singapore's daily count to 555.

HOSPITALISED CASES​

As of Saturday, 708 patients are warded in hospital. A total of 35 are cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation. Seven are in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

Of those who are very ill, 33 are above 60 years old.

Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated people who became severely ill or died was 4.6 per cent, while that for the fully vaccinated was 0.8 per cent, said MOH.

VACCINATION PROGRESS​

Giving an update on Singapore's vaccination progress, MOH said 81 per cent of the population have completed their full vaccination regimen as of Friday. Eighty-three per cent received at least one dose.

Singapore has administered more than 8.8 million doses under the national vaccination programme, covering 4.5 million people, of whom 4.4 million have completed both doses.

Another 176,732 doses of other vaccines recognised by the World Health Organization's emergency use listing have been administered, covering 86,561 people.

As of Saturday, Singapore has reported a total of 71,162 COVID-19 cases.

SINGAPORE - The Jurong Fishery Port cluster started small, with seven Covid-19 cases on July 16, but even then, the huge potential impact was not lost on the authorities.

The port served about 100 merchants who spent long hours handling heavy loads of wet fish and interacting with the 3,000 or so daily customers, making it hard for them to adhere to the same standards of safe distancing observed elsewhere.

On top of that, many of the port's visitors were fishmongers who were there to pick up stock to sell at wet markets across the island, potentially seeding new outbreaks in various community settings.

"From our experience with previous clusters at markets like the one in Bukit Merah View, we knew it could spread quite quickly in that setting," said Associate Professor Vernon Lee, an infectious diseases expert who is also director of the communicable diseases division at the Ministry of Health (MOH).

"Many seniors could be exposed to the virus at those locations because these are places they visit to get their daily necessities. This was something that we were very worried about."

The fight to contain the cluster began immediately - the port was closed for two weeks for deep cleaning the day after the first cases were found.

Other steps were taken quickly, based on a tried and tested strategy.

Prof Lee said: "Essentially, that involved isolating the cases, identifying their close contacts and putting them under quarantine and testing them. Then, we identified new cases and repeated until we managed to bring it under control."

He noted that there were several things about the Jurong Fishery Port cluster that complicated the problem.

One, early investigations uncovered that a large number of infections linked to the port had already spread before any intervention could take place.

When it was announced, the cluster had already been linked to infections at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, which was also closed for deep cleaning on July 17.

Two, it was no ordinary port. The fishery port handles about 30 per cent of Singapore's seafood imports, including those that arrive by land and air.

This meant efforts were needed to ensure Singapore's food supplies were not disrupted by activating other supply routes while the port was closed.

Three, the sheer number of cases and the speed at which the cluster grew was staggering.

On July 20, just four days after it was announced, it had grown to become Singapore's largest active cluster with 321 cases.

By comparison, the 115 Bukit Merah View Market and Food Centre cluster, which was closed on July 25, stood at 94 cases at its peak and was confined to a relatively small geographic location.

The worst-case scenario soon came true with infections spreading to 44 markets and food centres in Singapore, many likely frequented by seniors.

Links were also found between the port and the cluster at several KTV lounges, the second-largest active cluster at the time.

The cluster at Jurong Fishery Port itself ballooned to 1,155 cases within less than a month of its announcement.

It took weeks of work and hundreds of people from multiple agencies to contain the cluster.

Officers from the MOH, the National Environment Agency, the Singapore Food Agency, the police and the Singapore Armed Forces were all involved in the operations, from contact tracing and investigations to devising and implementing tighter safe management measures at the port and markets.

There were four "rings" of defence in the effort to identify cases linked to the cluster, as previously outlined by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

The cluster at Jurong Fishery Port itself ballooned to 1,155 cases within less than a month of its announcement.

It took weeks of work and hundreds of people from multiple agencies to contain the cluster.


The massive effort helped in slowing the growth in late July and the port was reopened on July 31. Unloading and wholesale activities were allowed to resume on Aug 2.

The final cases linked to the cluster were reported on Aug 14 before it was finally closed on Sept 7 after no new cases were linked to it for several weeks.

The Jurong Fishery Port cluster is Singapore's largest Covid-19 cluster in the community to date and the nation's fifth-largest cluster overall, behind four foreign worker dormitories that emerged at the height of the outbreak in April last year.

The experience in tackling the cluster has been an instructive one.

Said Prof Lee: "We have more technologies and options in our playbook now, but we are also facing a slightly different adversary in the Delta variant. Nature keeps evolving, so our strategies will have to keep evolving as well and we have to tackle whatever nature throws at us head on."

SINGAPORE - Chinatown Complex will be closed to all members of the public from 3pm on Sunday (Sept 12) to 11.59pm on Wednesday, as the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported a total of 66 Covid-19 cases linked to the cluster there.

Singapore also reported a total of 555 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday (Sept 11), including 486 in the community and 64 dormitory residents. Five cases were imported.

Of the 66 cases linked to the Chinatown Complex cluster, 63 work there. They include 58 stallholders and stall assistants, four cleaners and one safe distancing ambassador. The remaining three are household contacts of infected cases.

All staff working at Chinatown Complex are being tested for Covid-19, said MOH.

To contain the cluster quickly, people who have logged in with SafeEntry to Chinatown Complex from Sept 8 to Sept 11 will be issued Health Risk Alerts.

MOH said: "They are strongly encouraged to go for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test as soon as possible and to reduce their social interactions for 14 days."

Our manpower is handling the covid pandemic very well. We had over 1000 cases daily for a week last year and we pulled through. This time will be no different. Kindly stop spreading fear to destabilize Singapore.
