MOH urges public not to further strain healthcare system, as S'pore reports over 25,000 new Covid-19 cases

SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday (Feb 22) urged members of the public and employers not to further strain the healthcare system as Singapore’s daily Covid-19 cases reached a new high of over 25,000 cases for the day.
In a news release, it noted that hospitals, polyclinics and general practitioner clinics are "very busy" and healthcare workers are "under severe pressure" as it may take some weeks before the Omicron transmission wave peaks and subsides.
"This has resulted in two problems," it said.
First, while the number of patients needing oxygen supplementation and intensive care unit care is not high, there is a surge in demand for hospital beds, mostly for patients with underlying chronic illnesses to recover.
Secondly, many patients going to hospitals, polyclinics and general practitioner (GP) clinics have no or mild symptoms but would like to get an Antigen Rapid Test (ART) conducted by a medical professional and documented in MOH’s records, or to request for a medical certificate.
"This has added significant workload to our healthcare providers who are already under significant pressure and stress," it said.
"Our healthcare service providers will need help and cooperation from employers and members of the public."
MOH said it is doing whatever it can to support healthcare providers and called on employers not to insist their employees produce a medical certificate or recovery memos once they have tested positive for the Covid-19 disease.
"For the public, we encourage individuals that unless they are experiencing an
emergency, not to rush to a hospital emergency department," said MOH.
It added that in response to the spike in Covid-19 cases here, those who require medical attention are encouraged to consult a primary care doctor first.
Patients who walk into emergency departments with non-emergency conditions, including children, may be diverted to other urgent care clinics or primary care clinics for further assessment, so as to prioritise emergency care resources for patients who need them.
To help spread out peak patient load at private clinics, MOH said that it will extend the operating hours of Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) with effect from Friday to March 10.
Selected PHPCs across Singapore will operate on weekday nights (up to 11pm), weekend afternoons (Saturdays and Sundays, 2pm to 5pm), and weekend nights (Saturdays and Sundays, up to 11pm).
MOH added that selected polyclinics will also be operating on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
From Feb 26, the Combined Test Centres (CTCs) will also provide access to telemedicine consultations for symptomatic members of the public who go to CTCs for testing during the weekends.
“The telemedicine doctors will be able to provide face-to-face video consultations, and prescribe and deliver medications if need be. The testing and consultations will be funded by the Government during this period,” said MOH.
must be a lie:
Well, i just say strain further. This is the outcome for having a MTFF who has absolutely ZERO qualification to handle this "pandemic". Let them enjoy the outcome of their own foolishness. Let all doctors and nurses resign and whole health system fall apart.
This is how selfish and dumb Singaporeans voted for, so deal with it. Since the whole system is set up for people to report cases because they have a job to be responsible for, then report all the way, make it 50k and show it to the world how incompetent the PAP is.

This kind of logic also weird.
Wanna treat pandemic like a normal flu and go on life as per normal. But end up cannot cope! Then cry and say we chao keng? Only the PAPpy dogs can think of such shit!

It is also because they are trying to get "into the system", an unforseen result by the PAP of "vaccination differentiation".
The flu is more dangerous it has a fatality rate of 0.1%
