What do former pilot Hisyamuddin Mohd Nasir, SAF Captain Daniel Koh, and former hotel sales executive Joanne Tan have in common?
They are part of a diverse team in the Ministry of Health, Singapore Contact Tracing Centres – one of the nerve centres in Singapore’s fight against COVID-19.
Last Friday, I paid them a visit together with Minister Lawrence Wong.
Our contact tracers analyse vast amounts of data - with the help of TraceTogether and SafeEntry - to identify close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases. They spend hours interviewing each infected individual, and activating quarantine and swab test facilities.
Working tirelessly, they help to ringfence possible new cases and prevent transmissions from spilling over to the community. Very aptly, the two teams at the MOH Contact Tracing Centres are named Marvel and DC. Indeed they are superheroes who help save the day.

Not surprising that a former pilot, a former SAF officer and a former hotel sales executive are now contact tracers.

We are doing our best to accelerate vaccination of our population, subject to delivery of supplies.
Under this plan, every Singaporean who is medically eligible will be invited to take your jab in the coming few weeks.
For those aged 60 and above, there’s no need to book an appointment in advance. You can go to a vaccination centre and get a jab.
For young adults aged 39 and below, booking will start around mid-June. Singaporeans will get a priority two-week booking window.
For students, including those in institutions of higher learning, MOE will reach out to you, starting with those sitting for the N, O and A levels or equivalent. This is to allow them to schedule their slots ahead of their coming examinations.
After reviewing international and local data and evidence, MOH is removing some existing restrictions, and extending vaccinations to pregnant women, breastfeeding women, those on cancer treatment (albeit in a hospital setting), and those with Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions.

They are also reviewing the latest evidence to see if vaccinations can be extended to those not allergic to the mRNA vaccine or its components but to other substances like seafood, painkillers and antibiotics.

Hoping that our supplies are coming on schedule so that we cover as many people as possible and in quick time.

Singapore hopes to resume normal international travel, but insufficient data to lift restrictions for now: Ong Ye Kung​

SINGAPORE: Singapore hopes to resume normal international travel, but there is not enough data to decide whether lifting travel restrictions is possible for now, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday (May 31).

Mr Ong was responding to a question at a COVID-19 multi-ministry task force press conference about whether Singapore would wait for neighbouring countries to achieve higher vaccination rates before lifting travel restrictions.

If Singapore residents are vaccinated, and the country is safe, "we hope Singaporeans can gain the freedom to travel", said Mr Ong.

This could mean travelling for business reasons or visiting relatives who are living overseas without having to serve a 21-day stay-home notice, he added.

“Of course, we hope to resume that normalcy, but I think the truth is we don’t have enough data to ... decide whether lifting all those restrictions is possible as of now,” Mr Ong said.

Singapore is “heading in the right direction”, said the Health Minister.

"If we can get ourselves substantially vaccinated, protected, certainly travel restrictions will have to be reviewed with a view to restore our ability to travel and become a business hub," said Mr Ong.

The Government has “always taken a risk-based approach” towards travel restrictions, said Finance Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force.


“If you look at our border measures, we already differentiate countries by risk and based on the infection levels in these countries. So if a country is safe, we already allow Singaporeans to go there and come back without any quarantine in Singapore," he added.

"And we even allow travellers from these places to come to Singapore without quarantine.

“On the other hand, if a country is not so safe, there are high incidence rates that are prevalent in these places, then we have tighter border control measures where travellers coming in will have to serve a quarantine in a dedicated facility.”

Singapore will continue with this approach “in the coming months”, said Mr Wong.

“If more countries become safe, infection rates come down, vaccination rates are high, then potentially, we will be able to open up more with these places," he added.

“On the other hand, if they are places where the incidence rates will remain high, and there are concerns (that) they are high-risk areas, then the border measures will remain and the quarantine measures will remain.”

We are bringing COVID-19 vaccine to the doorstep of those who are homebound and unable to travel to vaccination sites.
The photo shows Dr Jessica Chua and Staff Nurse Agnes Ng from the Health Promotion Board, Singapore. They form a Home Vaccination Team.
The duo collect the vaccine doses from the nearest vaccination centre, pack them in an ice box with a temperature monitoring system, administer the jab and observe for any post-vaccination reaction.
Every diligence is taken to ensure that the process is safe and convenient even in a home setting.
To date, 30 homebound individuals have benefitted from the scheme. We intend to work with more private service providers so that more people can benefit from it.
If you or a loved one is homebound, you can register interest directly with your home care service providers or call the MOH hotline at 1800-333-9999.
