Singapore will hit pause on its reopening plans after a recent rise in Covid cases and plans to start vaccine boosters.​

S'pore to maintain current Covid-19 measures, will rely on vaccination and testing to move ahead​


We have already reached very high levels of vaccination - we are one of the foremost countries in terms of vaccination - we should now aspire to be a nation of testing, where testing becomes a way of life."


SINGAPORE - Singapore will stay in the current preparatory stage of its reopening, and will continue to rely on vaccination and testing to keep the Covid-19 situation under control, amid a recent spike in infections.

In an update on the Covid-19 situation on Friday (Sept 3), Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said there are no plans to loosen or tighten curbs at this stage as the country transitions to living with the disease.

The multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19, which Mr Wong co-chairs, will tighten measures only as a "last resort", to keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed.

It will also not loosen measures at this juncture, taking into account the time lag between the onset of infections and serious illness, said Mr Wong at a virtual press conference alongside his co-chairmen, Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong and Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

Singapore reported 216 new cases of community infections on Friday, with 109 unlinked ones.

Mr Wong said the recent increase in the number of cases is not unexpected, since more people have been going out following the loosening of restrictions earlier.




But Singapore is also in a new phase, with a high level of vaccine coverage, he added.

As the Government continues to monitor the situation, it will also expand the nation's vaccination and testing regime.

In view of the more transmissible Delta variant, the Ministry of Health (MOH) will start administering booster Covid-19 vaccination shots to two groups of people - those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, as well as those aged 60 and above, and residents of aged care facilities.

As the first batch of seniors aged 60 and above completed their second doses around March, they will be eligible for the third dose within this month (September). More details on the implementation of the booster shot will be announced later, MOH said.


Mr Ong said about 85 per cent of the population would have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by this month.

Added Mr Wong: "We have already reached very high levels of vaccination - we are one of the foremost countries in terms of vaccination - we should now aspire to be a nation of testing, where testing becomes a way of life."

On the testing front, the 20 quick test centres already set up for workers to meet testing requirements will open up to the public from Oct 1, so that they can make an appointment for a self-paid test.

This will supplement regular self-testing, and will enable people to use such tests to fulfil employment requirements, or for an unvaccinated person to attend a mass event.

Mr Wong said the Government is looking into setting up more of such testing sites across the island, so that it will be easier for people to get themselves tested regularly.

He added that the Government has already mandated rostered routine testing for people in high-risk settings.

"But regular testing should not be confined to those working in such settings," he said. "We want to strongly encourage everyone, whether you're vaccinated or not, to self-test regularly as a matter of social responsibility."

That is why the Government decided to distribute antigen test kits to every household, Mr Wong added.

Mr Ong said personal responsibility and community resilience are "alternate lines of defence" to keeping the situation under control, now that the Government is refraining from tightening measures.

"I think most of us, all of us, don't want to turn back," said Mr Ong. "Then we must be able to fall back on alternate lines of defence."

This includes getting vaccinated, observing safe management measures, wearing masks properly, and not spreading misinformation, among others.

Mr Ong added: "This next phase of the journey depends critically on everyone's civic consciousness and social responsibility. So let's take care of ourselves and the people around us."

Israel os having problems now... singkieland will follow suit.

World’s biggest covid surge hits vaxxed nation
Benedict Brook
One of the most vaccinated countries on Earth has this week seen its highest number of coronavirus cases ever.

Israel, the poster child for vaccination, recorded more new Covid-19 infections on Wednesday than at the peak of its second wave when few in the country of nine million were even jabbed.

The nation – wholly dependent on Pfizer – has a rolling average of 9300 daily cases. Where it once broke vaccination records, Israel has now broken a grim new record – the country with the highest seven day average of new cases per million.

Infectious diseases experts have said Israel may prove that the effectiveness of vaccines do indeed wane over time.

“This is a very clear warning sign for the rest of the world,” Dr Ran Balicer of Clalit Health Services, one of Israel’s main healthcare providers, told Science magazine last month

“If it can happen here, it can probably happen everywhere.”

However, the country’s politicians are insistent no new lockdown will be introduced and have pointed out that despite the surge in cases, serious illness and death among vaccinated Israelis remains low.

HIGHEST CASES PER MILLION GLOBALLY

On Wednesday, Israel recorded 11,250 new Covid-19 cases with a seven day average of 9308 cases, according to the country’s health ministry.

That’s higher than the seven day average of cases of 8624 cases on January 17, the second wave peak, only a month after the country’s vaccine program began.

Daily fatalities were at 31 on Wednesday with a rolling average of 21 deaths per day.

The country is now recording 1891 cases per million people, according to Oxford University’s Our World in Data project, the most anywhere globally and three times the level in the US, for instance.

Talking to reporters, Israel’s coronavirus co-ordinator Salma Zarka said September was going to be a “challenging month” for the country with children now back to school and a major religious holiday approaching.

He said he expected a further jump in cases and said some restrictions on mass events should be considered. But he didn’t support wholesale lockdowns.

“There is some optimism but … any gathering has potential for more infections, so cautious optimism is a better description,” Prof Zarka told the Ynet news site.

WHY COVID CASES ARE RISING IN VAXXED NATION

On first blush it might seem baffling why a country lauded for its vaccination rates is now seeing a large surge in cases.

But there appear to be a number of factors at play in the Middle Eastern nation.

“It seems that some mistakes were made when we thought we won the war, and now we understand we only won the battle,” Prof Zarka told The Times of Israel.

“The war is still here, and we have to continue and to explain and push all the people to get vaccinated.”

The key issue is jabs. Israel has fully vaccinated 78 per cent of its adult population. It’s a lot and according to Australia’s national plan, at that level we would be close to only “minimum baseline restrictions”.

But Delta appears to be transmitting nonetheless, aided by few if any restrictions in the country.

And despite Israel’s reputation as being one of the most jabbed nations, it actually no longer has bragging rights. Other countries have streaked ahead.

Vaccination rates in Israel surged between December and March but then began to plateau after around 50 per cent of the total population, not just adults, had received two jabs.

In the six months since March, inoculation rates have been sluggish. Today only around 60 per cent of Israelis in total have had two doses leaving millions still with no protection.

It has now slipped to 22 in the global vaccination ladder, with the UK, China, Canada, Ireland, Spain and Denmark among others having vaccinated more residents.

At 82 per cent, Malta is the only country to have got over the 80 per cent total population mark, but Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Portugal are closing in fast.

SERIOUS CASES IN VACCINATED FAR LOWER

The Israeli health ministry has pointed out the number of serious cases in Israel appears to be falling. And among those aged over 60, serious cases in the unvaccinated was running at 15 times greater than the vaccinated.

The mortality rate in countries with high vaccination rates has plummeted, even those seeing rising cases.

“The severe disease rates in the vaccinated are about one-tenth of those seen in the unvaccinated, which means the vaccine is still over 90 per cent effective in preventing severe disease,” infectious disease specialist at Sheba Medical Centre, Professor Eyal Leshem, told Canadian TV station CBC.

Cases are also thought to have spiked after parents were asked to proactively test their children at home before sending them to school, which revealed high number of asymptomatic cases in kids.

There are no vaccines approved for children below 12 anywhere in the world currently. But Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said this week he hoped a shot for 6-12 years old would be available within months.

Some restrictions have now been reimposed including masks in certain situations and only allowed the vaccinated into indoor spaces.

CONCERNS VACCINES ARE WANING

The other concern is whether the vaccines ability to slow transmission is beginning to wane given many in Israel received their jabs more than six months ago.

Some of the new infections are in those who were vaccinated earliest.

Israel is now offering a booster shot to the already double dosed elderly and vulnerable. And it could be working.

“What we’re seeing on the ground – in my hospital and other hospitals – is that while the number of cases continue to increase, we’ve seen a stabilisation in the number of severe cases,” Prof Leshem said.

“The most plausible reason is that this older population that was boosted is more protected against severe infection, hospitalisation and death.”

The aim, he said, was to get to a state of “equilibrium” with covid.

“Covid circulates globally so it will be very challenging – if ever – to eradicate.

“Most of the population will be infected at some point. Hopefully, this will be after they are protected with vaccines and therefore infection will be mild.”

Joe Rogan who's been one of the high profile anti covid vax celebrities was diagnosed with the corona but recovered within 3 days after taking ivermectin.

This will surely add fuel to the debate.

But it's important to note that Joe is a pretty fit guy who exercises regularly.

GREAT GOOD NEWS ~~ ! Israel, which is facing one of its worst Covid-19 outbreaks despite having one of the highest vaccination rates, no longer recognises those with two Pfizer jabs as being fully vaccinated. Instead, that definition is only for people who have had a third booster jab.

(Sinkies/Vaxxers u just wet & see....okie, so happy for you free boosters jabs cumming ! Don't wait for more Tighten-Measures and Lockdowns, go go go....) /ROFLMAO...................

Ivermectin has been ised for a decade. Its cheap and relatively no side effects. Poor cou tries should do it right away. Wait for what?

Will Singaporeans follow such rules religiously?

Those who do not disobey or adopt any degree of civil disobedience will either be injured/damaged or killed. It is that serious and i am not joking.

Oh noes, those 'fully vaxxed' Sinkies might lose their precious check mark on their TT app (which is really a vaccine passport if you are too dense to realize it already) if the pappies decide to emulate Israel.

Right now they're letting the old farts and those sickly ones test water by 'encouraging' them to take the third booster shot. Don't worry, just like the first two shots, more categories of Sinkies will be 'encouraged' to 'get protected' eventually. :biggrin:

I do not follow such measures to move ahead. The sooner Singaporeans wake up and go against covid measures, the better is for your life. Wake up or you will be injured or die. These measures are moving ahead to SCREW YOU. The more fear you have, the more easy you are being controlled.

Overcome your fear or else you will be injured or die. The PAP are not leaders, leaders do not manage the country like this at all.
