UPDATE ON HOSPITALS’ CAPACITY AND MANPOWER SITUATION IN MANAGING THE COVID-19 SURGE​

8TH OCT 2021​

The Ministry of Health (MOH) continues to support our hospitals to expand bed and manpower capacity and to stand up more COVID-19 Treatment Facilities (CTFs), in order to handle the larger number of community cases. This will allow us to stay on course in the Stabilisation Phase to achieve COVID-19 resiliency as a nation.

2. Community infections have been around 3,000 a day for the past few days. The doubling time has slowed, from 6 to 8 days three weeks ago to about 10 to 12 days now. Nevertheless, the large daily numbers have placed significant strain on our healthcare system. Our healthcare workers – who have now been stretched for almost two years – are bearing the brunt of the burden. If not for our high vaccination rates, the workload of our healthcare workers would have been many times heavier.

Update on the Hospital Situation

3. The majority of COVID-19 patients (98.4%) continue to be asymptomatic or report mild symptoms. Only a small percentage require oxygen supplementation in a hospital (1.3%) or intensive care unit (ICU) care (0.1%). Currently, around 7% of COVID-19 patients are admitted into hospitals because of more severe symptoms or pre-existing medical risks which require close observation. As a result, about 20% of hospital beds in acute and community public hospitals are taken up by COVID-19 patients.

4. ICU beds are disproportionately occupied by seniors 60 years and older who are unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. They represent 1.5% of our total population, but currently account for two-thirds of the patients requiring ICU care. The occupancy of critically ill cases in ICU was 23.5% yesterday.

5. The occupancy for COVID-19 isolation beds has risen from 62% in July 2021 to 85% for October 2021, despite our efforts to set aside more beds. Over the past three months, the number of patients seeking medical attention at the Emergency Departments (EDs) after testing positive for COVID-19 has increased by eight times. Many of them were admitted, mostly for precautionary observation.

6. Consequently, the waiting time at public hospitals from the EDs to admission for non-COVID patients has increased by 34% from July 2021 to September 2021. This is in part due to the lower number of beds now available for non-COVID patients.

Continued Efforts to Ramp Up Bed Capacity and Healthcare Manpower

7. To cope with the increase in cases, MOH has been proactively working with public, community and private hospitals to set aside more beds for COVID-19 patients. The number of COVID-19 beds has increased from 900 to 2,500 over the last three months. Of these, about 170 are ICU beds, and another 100 can be stood up to handle ICU cases at short notice. At the same time, hospitals have been asked to prioritise resources for COVID-19 patients by reducing less urgent surgeries and appointments. Our hospitals have thus cut down on non-urgent and non-life threatening care, deferring about 20% of their total regular load, to alleviate the pressure on their capacity and manpower.

8. A key resource constraint we now face is our healthcare manpower. Our public healthcare institutions and private healthcare providers have redeployed existing staff and recruited additional short-term manpower to ramp-up beds. We are also bringing in more manpower by reaching out to individuals registered with the Singapore Healthcare Corps, including both healthcare professionals and laypersons. We have also approached nurses who are registered with the Singapore Nursing Board but who are currently not in active practice.

9. The response has been encouraging. About 900 individuals of all ages have stepped forward in response to our call to duty. We are progressively referring them to the public hospitals to match them with suitable roles, based on the institution’s needs and the individual’s experience and availability. The possible deployments vary across institutions and care settings, and include being deployed to the additional COVID-19 facilities that we have stood up, such as the CTFs.

10. We thank all who have signed up. Those who are interested can visit go.gov.sg/shc-covidops to contribute to our nation’s fight against COVID-19.

Ensuring the Long Term Sustainability of the Healthcare System

11. Given our high vaccination rates of over 83% who have now completed their primary series, and with over 98% of COVID-19 infected individuals recovering with no or mild symptoms, home recovery is a safe and suitable model to right-site the care management of most COVID-19 cases. Therefore the Home Recovery Programme (HRP) has become the default care management protocol for many patients.

12. However, the continued rise in cases will most likely mean a correspondingly growing number of infected persons, especially among the vulnerable elderly who will need some level of hospital or CTF care. To make best use of our hospital facilities and beds, we have been admitting those who are stable but require closer monitoring (because of their advanced age or underlying medical conditions) to CTFs where their care and close monitoring needs will be better met.

13. We have stood up five CTFs over the past two weeks; Bright Vision Hospital, NTUC Health Nursing Home (Tampines), Connect@Changi, Oasia Hotel@Novena and part of Yishun Community Hospital. Together, the five CTFs currently have over 1,200 beds. Private operators have been commissioned to run some of the CTFs or ramp up their existing infrastructure to be CTFs. We are on track to add on 2,500 more beds by the end of the month, bringing our total CTF capacity to 3,700 beds.

14. As MOH continues to adjust our protocols and further strengthen our support for those on HRP, we strongly urge those who have non-emergency conditions to avoid seeking treatment at the hospitals and to consult their own family doctor or General Practitioner (GP) instead. Those who are asymptomatic but are concerned they may be infected with COVID-19 can perform their own ART self-test, and self-isolate for 72 hours if their ART test result is positive. This allows those with more severe illnesses and who are in need of emergency care to be attended to quickly and helps to preserve our hospital capacity for those who truly need acute hospital care.

Continued Commitment to Providing Appropriate Medical Care to Patients

15. We urge Singaporeans to play your part to protect the healthcare system and help lighten the burden now placed on our healthcare workers. All of us need to be socially responsible to take care of ourselves and others around us through vaccination, regular testing and adherence to isolation protocols where needed. Continued adherence to our Safe Management Measures will also dampen the rate of transmission and keep the number of new cases at a manageable level. We urge those who are eligible for their booster vaccination dose to get it as soon as they become eligible.

16. We assure all Singaporeans that everyone who requires medical care, whether for COVID-19 or other conditions, will continue to receive appropriate care even as we do our best to overcome the challenges arising from this current wave of COVID-19 infections.

We're welcoming South Koreans again very soon! It's probably due to the popularity of the Squid Games! Now sinkies can go to South Korea and visit the filming sites of the show.

Anyeonghaseyo! Would you be booking a trip to Korea? Can go skiing in PyeongChang

This is a sad story. Being the father of a teenaged daughter, I feel for him...

It is interesting that the story never mentioned their vaccination status.

Very few are actually sick so there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Children are just as likely to contract Covid as adults are - but only 50% of kids show symptoms compared to nearly 90% of over-18s, study finds​

• Children are just as likely to contract COVID-19 as adults, though cases in kids are less severe, a new study finds
• Researchers found that around five out of every 1,000 people across all age groups contracted the virus
• Around half of children who tested positive for Covid were asymptomatic
• But only 12% of those aged 18 and older who contracted the virus experienced asymptomatic cases
• Parents are split 50/50 over whether or not to vaccinate kids because children have a low risk of severe illness and make up less than 0.1% of all Covid deaths

Children are just as likely to contract COVID-19 as adults are, but cases in minors are significantly more likely to be asymptomatic, a new study finds.

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Columbia University in New York City (NYC) gathered data from participating households in Utah and NYC.

They found that age had little effect on a person's odds of contracting the virus, with around five out of every 1,000 adults and children each falling ill over the study period.

However, younger people were significantly less likely to suffer severe symptoms from the virus, with only half of children who contracted the virus having a symptomatic case, compared to 88 percent of adults.

The study's findings add to the growing body of evidence that kids and teens are generally safer from the virus than their older peers and are at low risk of severe complications or death.

A new study finds that half of children who contracted COVID-19 did not experience symptoms of the virus compared to only 12% of adults

There was little difference in COVID-19 infection rates across different age groups with five out of every 1,000 people contracting the virus


Researchers, who published their findings on Friday in JAMA Pediatrics, recruited 1,236 people from 310 households.

Participants would regularly self-collect nasal swabs to be tested for the virus between September 2020 to April 2021.

They would also complete surveys, reporting potential Covid symptoms that they were experiencing.

Overall, of the participants in NYC, there were 7.7 positive cases per 1,000 people, twice as high as the rate of 3.8 cases per 1,000 in Utah

New York City, in general, has proved to be one of the nation's COVID-19 hotspots due to the large and dense population.

Researchers combined data from both cities, and split participants into age cohorts.

For children aged zero to four, 6.3 out of 1,000 contracted the virus during the study period.

Additionally, 4.4 out of every 1,000 kids aged five to 11 and six out of every 1,000 children aged 12 to 17 tested positive for COVID-19.

Adults included in the study had similar Covid rates, with 5.1 out of every 1,000 contracting the virus.

Only children aged 12 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S., but many parent will not vaccinate their children even if it approved for all ages. Pictured: A young child received a Covid test in Austin, Texas, on August 5

While the rates of infection were similar, the children who contracted the virus were much better off than their older peers.

Half of the children in the two youngest age groups, those aged zero to four and aged five to 11, were asymptomatic when they contracted the virus.

Even the slightly older children in the study, those aged 12 to 17, had high rates of asymptomatic cases, with 45 percent of those infected not suffering any symptoms.

The numbers were drastically different for the adults in the study, though.

Only 12 percent of adults in the study had asymptomatic cases because the virus is much harder to deal with for older people.

'A larger fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infections in children were asymptomatic and would likely have gone undetected without study testing, supporting hypotheses that [Covid] infections among children have been substantially under ascertained during the COVID-19 pandemic,' the researchers wrote.

Adults who are more at risk for symptomatic Covid cases have a valuable tool for preventing the virus.

The COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in the U.S., and all adults are eligible for the shots.

Comparatively, only children aged 12 or older are authorized to receive it.

The relatively low severity of Covid cases among kids has made many parents question if they need to get their children vaccinated at all, even when it does become available.

Polls find that parents of children seem to be evenly split on whether or not their children will be receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

One survey, conducted by CS Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at Michigan Medicine in July, that 39 percent of parents said their children already gotten a coronavirus shot.

However, 40 percent of parents also said it was 'unlikely' that their children would be getting vaccinated.

Another poll from Axios/Ipsos in September found that 44 percent of parents of children aged five to 11 said their kids were likely to get a vaccine and 42 percent said it was unlikely their children would be immunized.

A poll from Axios/Ipsos found that 44% percent said their child was likely to get a vaccine and 42% said it was unlikely their kids would be immunized
In fact, many more children die from gun violence, drownings, poisonings and other fatal injuries each year compared to those who have died from COVID-19.

Poisoning accidents kill 730 children every year, with two deaths occurring every day, according to the CDC.

The CDC also finds that 2,756 of Americans aged 19 and under committed suicide in 2019 and 925 died of drowning.

Another 3,302 children died from traffic-related motor vehicle accidents in 2019.

What's more, 3,371 children and teens in the U.S. lost their lives due to to gun violence in 2019, according to The State of America's Children 2021 report.

Only bicycle accidents see fewer deaths with 79 occurring for those under age 20 in 2019, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Children just as likely to get Covid, only 50% of kids show symptoms

Very few are actually sick....

My personal strategy from now on is to live life normally and observe all the common sense COVID prevention habits of social distancing, personal hygiene, masks...etc.., but I wouldn't be unduly worried about getting infected either. Vaccination + acquired natural immunity is not a bad thing.

 

[zhihau]

Very few are actually sick so there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Boss, sinkies are all excited about this VTL to Korea, some already preparing to renew their passports! Got VTL to Bali or not?

 

[dredd]

Very few are actually sick so there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

And even if they are, they are likely to recover and acquire natural immunity from the infection.

From now onwards, my personal strategy is to go on living my life normally and observe basic common sense COVID prevention habits. I won't be too unduly worried about catching COVID. Vaccination + Acquired natural immunity = not such a bad thing.

Anyeonghaseyo! Would you be booking a trip to Korea? Can go skiing in PyeongChang

My wife and I are seriously considering it. It would be nice to bring the kids to go skiing again.

Just thinking out loud:

MOH SMS system is automated, right? TT App is being used to track close proximity, right? MOH C19 PCR results in MOH database, right?

How come GovTech don’t know how to automate whole process?

On C19 detected, set start date, check TT proximity
if self, goto QO
if <2m & >15min interaction, tag IC, then goto QO
else if <2m & <15min interaction, tag IC then goto HRW/HRA

On QO, set end date, send QO SMS with end date
if vax & <70 yr old, healthy, then goto HRS
elseif vax <70 yr old, poor health conditions, then goto CTF/CCF
elseif unvax, then goto CTF/CCF
if 2 days before end date, goto PCR

On PCR,
if -ve, goto HRW/HRA
if +ve, issue IO to C19+ individual, goto C19 detected

On HRW/HRA, set end date, send HRW/HRA SMS with end date
if ART +ve before end date, goto PCR
if ART -ve & reach end date, issue discharge SMS, end
if ART +ve & reach end date, goto PCR
if unwell, visit GP (declare HRW/HRA status)

On HRS, set end date,
if ART +ve before end date, goto PCR
if ART -ve & reach end date, issue discharge SMS, end
if ART +ve & reach end date, goto PCR.
if unwell, visit GP (declare QO/HRW/HRA status)
if need medicine, contact telemedicine team.

On CTF/CCF
Dr assess for hospitalisation or remain till discharge in CTF/CCF, issue discharge, end.


sounds logical?

Community Isolation Facility (CIF) added to the alphabet soup

Community Isolation Facility (CIF) added to the alphabet soup

Aiyah... whatever acronym they come out with, the key thing is to look out for yourself and not depend on anyone or any agency for protection. I have already said this before: as long as you are vaccinated, you belong to the 98.3% infected that have mild or no symptoms. Even if you are vaccinated, it's not a bad thing to get infected because you acquire natural immunity.

Bottomline is: COVID is not a fearful disease IF you are vaccinated. Live your life normally.

99.9% of Sinkees will follow protocol so not much of a problem there.

But this restriction follows with my prediction that the MIWs will slowly tighten the screw on the unvaccinated by choice which accounts for about 10% of the population. This group can cry foul and kpkb on this forum as well as elsewhere, but it won't make a difference. Vaccination choice may be yours but law remains theirs to protect healthcare facilities and well-being of the majority. Political decision? Perhaps. But going by 90% of the population being vaccinated, I think it is a popular and wise choice.

And if you have no underlying comorbidities...

 

[dredd]

And if you have no underlying comorbidities...

The science and data show those above 70 years of age to be at most risk... vaccinated or not.

Those below this age group will be generally well protected if vaccinated, with or without underlying diseases.

 

[Loofydralb]

Sorry, I'm done engaging with bird brains like you. You are an irresponsible prick to yourself and to your family by staying unvaxxed...

The diff bet you and me is fear and cowardice to face danger head on. Death must be a big deal for you.
