The PAP government is probably the only government that has got it right. There is no need for masks. It is more important just to practise basic hygiene like hand washing and to avoid touching your face with dirty fingers.

So back in 2003 the PAP govt was right! They told us that if we doctors wear masks then the nurses will want to wear masks then the receptionist and the cleaner and the porter and the taxi driver and he food court staff and then EVERYONE will want to wear mask! And there are not enough masks for everyone!

Hence SGH doctors are NOT ALLOWED to wear masks as there is no SARS in SGH!

Fuck sinkies they are the ones who killed Alex Chao and the nurses in SGH!

If they say that wearing the masks does not help you being safe..then why the fuck we need to wear these masks when we are infected?
Are these masks ineffective or they just saying this to stop you wearing the free masks?

Don't listen to oppie fake news and bullshit. PAP and PA will work together to ensure that there's enough facemasks for all sinkies and their maids. Please proceed to your nearest RC to collect. My team of grassroots volunteers and our grassroots adviser will be there to facilitate the distribution of the face masks.

SINGAPORE - The distribution of more than five million masks to local households will begin on Saturday (Feb 1) at about 200 residents' committee (RC) centres, with residents of Beach Road to be among the first to receive them.

Collection timings will be staggered over the next week at the 89 community centres and 654 RC centres that will be mobilised across the island, Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing told reporters after a tour of preparations at the People's Association (PA) headquarters in Jalan Besar on Friday.

Information on when and where to collect the masks will be put up on community notice boards, digital display panels and constituency social media platforms from Friday.

You can check details of the mask collection using this site. It will be regularly updated.

Members of the public can also call 1800-333-9999 if they have questions about the mask collection. The hotline will be manned from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday, and 9am to 9pm for the rest of the week.

Mr Chan, who is the PA deputy chairman, said that collection times will be staggered according to groups of housing blocks to prevent long queues from forming.

"Every division typically every day will serve about two RC zones, with about 2,500 to 3,000 units. Based on this, we will stagger the time for people to come and collect," he said, adding that grassroots advisers for each division will decide on the collection location and allocation priority based on the area's needs.

The first case of coronavirus being spread by a person with no symptoms has been found.

As the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak continues to spread in China, researchers have found that people carrying the virus but not showing symptoms may be able to infect others. If infected people can spread 2019-nCoV while asymptomatic, it could be harder to trace contacts and contain the epidemic, which is already a global health emergency (SN: 1/30/20).

An unnamed Shanghai woman passed the virus to business colleagues in Germany before she showed signs of the illness, doctors report January 30 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The woman had attended a business meeting at the headquarters of the auto supplier Webasto in Stockdorf on January 20 and flew back to China on January 22. She became ill with mild symptoms on the flight back to China and tested positive for the virus.

Meanwhile, one of her German colleagues fell ill on January 24 with a fever, sore throat, chills and muscle aches. His illness was brief, and he returned to work on January 27, the same day that the woman informed the company she carried the virus. Nasal swabs and sputum, or phlegm, samples from the man contained high levels of the novel coronavirus even though his symptoms had passed.

Three other employees of the company also tested positive for the virus. Tracing their contacts, doctors conclude that the first man and another person caught the virus from their Chinese colleague.

What’s also concerning is that the first man apparently passed the virus to the other two coworkers, who both had contact with him before he developed symptoms. All cases of the illness have been mild.

These cases suggest that people shed the virus before they show symptoms and after recovery from the illness, say Camilla Rothe, tropical medicine and infectious disease specialist at the University Hospital of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, and her colleagues.

Asymptomatic spread, though common for influenza viruses, for example, would be a new trick for coronaviruses. The coronaviruses that cause the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, are not contagious before people show symptoms (SN: 1/28/20).

Another coworker of the firm was confirmed to have the virus on January 30, and a child of one of the infected workers has also contracted the virus, bringing the case count to six, health officials in the German state of Bavaria said January 31. The company has closed its headquarters near Munich until February 2 and began testing contacts of the ill employees on January 29.
