SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 788 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Wednesday (May 6), taking the country's total to 20,198.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported two more deaths, a 97-year-old Singaporean woman and a 73-year-old Singaporean man.

The elderly woman, Case 1414, died on Tuesday night from complications due to COVID-19. She tested positive for the coronavirus on Apr 7 and had a history of hypertension. She is linked to the cluster at Lee Ah Mooi home.

The man, Case 1528, died on Wednesday from complications due to COVID-19. He tested positive for the coronavirus on Apr 7 and had a history of hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes mellitus, MOH said. He is linked to the cluster at Mustafa shopping mall.

Singapore's death toll from the disease is now 20.

Thirteen of the new cases were in the community, of which 11 are Singaporeans or permanent residents and two are work pass holders.

"The number of new cases in the community has decreased, from an average of 16 cases per day in the week before, to an average of 10 per day in the past week," the ministry said.

"The number of unlinked cases in the community has also decreased, from an average of nine cases per day in the week before, to an average of four per day in the past week. We will continue to closely monitor these numbers, as well as the cases detected through our surveillance programme."

A 64-year-old Singaporean woman who was a patient at St Luke’s Hospital was among the 13 new cases in the community.

She tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday. The hospital said she had no symptoms of acute respiratory infection but was tested as part of the hospital's precautionary measures.

The woman has been transferred to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID).

"The affected ward has undergone deep cleansing and disinfection. Testing of patients and staff working in the ward have started. None of them have symptoms of acute respiratory infection and will continue to be monitored. Contact tracing has also started," said St Luke's, a community hospital.

SEVEN NEW CLUSTERS

A total of 759 of the new cases are work permit holders residing in dormitories.

"We continue to pick up many more cases amongst work permit holders residing in dormitories, including in factory-converted dormitories, because of extensive testing in these premises," said MOH.

Sixteen cases are work permit holders residing outside dormitories.

Of the new cases, MOH said 93 per cent are linked to known clusters while the rest are pending contact tracing.

Seven new clusters were reported: 20 Benoi Lane, 5 Fourth Chin Bee Road, 36 and 38 Kian Teck Drive, Tampines Street 62, 14 Tech Park Crescent, 50A Tuas Link 4 and 35 Tuas View Walk 2.

The cluster at Wilby Residences at 25 Wilby Road has been closed as there have been no more cases linked to the cluster for the past 28 days.

More information about the clusters can be found on the MOH website.

Circuit breaker gfx
MOH said 115 more patients have been discharged after making a full recovery. In all, 1,634 have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospitals or community care facilities.

The ministry said there are currently 1,462 confirmed cases who are still in hospital.

Of these, most are stable or improving, and 23 are in critical condition in the intensive care unit.

A total of 17,082 are isolated and cared for at community facilities. These include those who have mild symptoms, or are clinically well but still test positive for COVID-19.

More than four weeks have passed since Singapore rolled out elevated safe distancing measures as part of a "circuit breaker" period to fight the novel coronavirus.

Speaking in Parliament on Monday, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong laid out some factors which would have to be considered before these measures are lifted.

This includes having the number of daily community cases falling to zero or single digits over a sustained period of time.

There also needs to be a fall in the number of migrant worker cases, said the minister. The majority of Singapore's COVID-19 cases are work permit holders living in dormitories.

I see, so knew almost one month ago it will reach 20,000, when the count at that time was only 4200 or so? Talk cock lah.
 
How come mod still haven’t changed thread title? nothing exclusive here :biggrin:

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 768 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Friday (May 8), taking the country's total to 21,707.
The vast majority of these are work permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in its daily update of preliminary figures.

Ten cases are Singaporeans or permanent residents.
Further details will be shared later in the day, said the ministry.





On Thursday, MOH announced that a fourth public healthcare professional deployed to the Singapore Expo community care facility had tested positive for COVID-19.
Six new clusters - 5 Sixth Lok Yang Road, 98 Kaki Bukit Industrial Terrace, Sungei Kadut Avenue, 5 Tech Park Crescent, 3 Tuas Drive 1 and 52 Tuas View Square - were also reported.
Singapore's "circuit breaker", which has seen most businesses shuttered and residents staying home except to buy groceries or exercise alone, is scheduled to end in about three weeks.
Ahead of the Jun 1 deadline, some stores have begun to reopen.
Megamall Mustafa Centre, which was a COVID-19 cluster, reopened its supermarket on Wednesday, more than a month after it was closed. All other sections of the mall, which sells a range of products from clothes to shoes and electronics, will remain shut for now.

SINGAPORE: The Government aims to test about 16,000 residents at nursing homes in Singapore for COVID-19 over the next few weeks, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Friday (May 8), as he stressed the importance of keeping seniors safe amid the pandemic.

Testing has already been completed for 9,000 nursing home employees, with one positive case at Ren Ci nursing home in Ang Mo Kio.

Mr Gan, co-chair of the COVID-19 multi-ministry task force, said during a press conference that more than 30 residents who could have come in contact with the employee have been tested. Their results have returned negative, he said.

Providing an update about the situation at nursing homes, Mr Gan emphasised the importance of protecting the elderly from contracting the coronavirus.

“The seniors are at a significant significantly increased risk of severe disease if they are infected with COVID-19,” he said, citing both local and global data that shows that 80 per cent of COVID-19 death have happened among those above 60 years old.

Singapore has implemented several measures to protect its elderly, including minimising movement among nursing home and residential home employees, he said.

Client-facing staff have been instructed to move to designated accommodation facilities at the nursing homes, or at hotels during the circuit breaker period, Mr Gan said.

“About 2,600 nursing home staff are in the process of moving into hotels,” Mr Gan said. Employees who work at residential homes funded by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) are also similarly moving onsite, or to hotels.

About 700 staff working in MSF-funded residential homes will live at on-site facilities, and about 400 will move to hotels, said Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee, who was also present at the press conference.

Mr Lee added that 4,600 employees and residents from residential homes have been swabbed, with most of the results returning negative so far.

Circuit breaker measures in place are expected to last until Jun 1, with the authorities easing some measures from May 12. Factors they will take into consideration when easing the restrictions further include sustained low or single-digit cases in the community.

Mr Gan also said at the press conference that all traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) halls will be able to sell retail products from May 12, following feedback from the elderly about the inconvenience of having to travel long distances to those that had been allowed to operate.

Currently, only 130 TMC halls with registered practitioners are allowed to sell retail products. They had been given the green light to do so on May 5, after the authorities announced last week the easing of some COVID-19 "circuit breaker" measures.

Among the businesses allowed to operate from May 12 are home-based food businesses, selected food retail outlets and food manufacturing firms, Mr Gan had announced on Saturday.

Basic haircut services at hairdressers and barbers can also resume, but must be done within an hour.

Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong said at the press conference on Friday that Singaporeans should not rush to go out when businesses reopen on May 12, as the “circuit breaker” will still be in place despite the decline in COVID-19 cases in the broader community.

“We have made some announcements on some easing of measures from May 12 onwards, but that should not be an opportunity for us to go out and (go out) more frequently," said Mr Wong.

“We are making progress because of the circuit breaker and we should continue to do our part to comply with the measures for the rest of the circuit breaker period. We should remain vigilant and not take any chances,” he said.

Precisely. And you don’t have to be a doctor to know that!

Why only now? My hunch is that old folks in nursing homes are usually the ones whose families’ SES is not atas. The atas ones will be taken care of by private nurses.

And we all know the Govt look upwards. Never downwards. Notwithstanding that, 70% view them as God!

If they test all the nursing homes, I expect at least 1000 positive cases there. Other countries lock down their senior homes like a jail, I doubt if that happened here. Continued testing of dorm FWs, I think all new total should hit my 30,000 projection too. Huat AH

Altogether now!!! HUAT AH!!!

Not sure if the good folks are still running the tests at the same rate, we’ve hit 33,249 cases thus far.
 
June 4th and we have 36922 cases!
looks like Sinkiestan can hit 40K cases, if not more! :ninja::ninja::ninja:
