The Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed 20 new cases of Covid-19 infection today (May 8).




This brings the total number of cases to 61,331.
Seven of the cases announced today are in the community. There are no new cases in the dormitories.
The remaining 13 cases announced today are imported.
Overall, the number of new cases in the community has increased from 37 cases in the week before to 43 cases in the past week.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has remained stable at 10 cases per week in the past two weeks. MOH will continue to closely monitor these numbers, as well as the cases detected through its surveillance programme.
Amongst the 152 confirmed cases reported from May 2 to May 8, 49 cases have tested positive for their serology tests, 77 have tested negative, and 26 serology test results are pending.

Seven cases in the community

There are seven cases in the community today. Two are linked to previous cases while five are currently unlinked.
Case 62937 is a 40 year-old male Singaporean who is employed by Batamindo Shipping & Warehousing Pte Ltd and deployed as an operations assistant at Keppel Distripark.
He had not been at Pasir Panjang Terminal. He also works part-time as a GrabFood delivery personnel.
He is asymptomatic, and was detected when he was tested on May 4 as part of Rostered Routine Testing (RRT). His pooled test result came back positive for Covid-19 the next day.
He was conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) on May 6, and an individual test was done. His test result came back positive for Covid-19 infection.
His earlier tests from RRT – the last being on March 14 – were all negative for Covid-19 infection. His serology test result has come back positive but MOH has assessed that this is likely a recent infection.
Case 62940 is a 47 year-old male Work Permit holder who is employed by Ramky Cleantech Services Pte Ltd as a cleaner deployed at Changi Airport Terminal 3.
He is asymptomatic, and was detected when he was tested on May 5 as part of RRT. His pooled test result came back positive for Covid-19 on the same day. He was conveyed to NCID on May 6, and an individual test was done.
His test result came back positive for Covid-19 infection on May 7. His earlier tests from RRT – the last being on April 21 – were all negative for Covid-19 infection.
His serology test result has come back positive but we have assessed that this is likely a recent infection. Case 62940 received his first dose of Covid-19 vaccine on January 29, and the second dose on February 19.
Case 62941 is a 18 year-old female Singaporean who is a student at Victoria Junior College (20 Marine Vista), and was last in school on May 5.
She developed flu-like symptoms after school on May 5, and a fever the next day.
She sought medical treatment at a General Practitioner clinic on May 6, where she was tested for Covid-19. Her test result came back positive the next day.
Her serological test result is pending.
As a precautionary measure, MOH will commence a testing operations to test all students, staff, vendors and visitors of Victoria Junior College for Covid-19.



Case 62942 is a 33 year-old male Singaporean who works as a safety coordinator employed by Shimizu Corporation and deployed at Changi Airport Terminal 3.
His work does not entail interaction with passengers.
He was tested for Covid-19 as part of RRT on May 4. He developed a fever after work on May 5, and sought medical treatment at a General Practitioner clinic the next day, where he was tested for Covid-19.
His test result came back positive on May 7, as did his RRT pooled test result, and he was conveyed to NCID. His serology test result has come back negative.
Case 62945 is a 57 year-old male Singaporean who works as an aviation officer at Changi Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. His work entails screen departing and transiting passengers.
He was tested for Covid-19 as part of RRT on May 5, and developed a sore throat in the evening but did not seek medical treatment. He went to work the next day, and his sore throat worsened.
On May 7, his pooled test result came back positive for Covid-19, and an individual swab was taken. His individual test result came back positive on the same day and he was conveyed to NCID in an ambulance.
His earlier tests from RRT – the last being on Apr. 23 – were all negative for Covid-19 infection. His serology test result is pending. Case 62945 received his first dose of Covid-19 vaccine on Jan. 14, and the second dose on Feb. 4.
Given the recent cases who work at Changi Airport, as a precautionary measure MOH will commence a special testing operations for all staff working at Changi Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, and Jewel.

Case 61822 cluster

Case 62938 is a 27 year-old male Work Permit holder who works as a car groomer at BlackNano Pte Ltd (1 Bukit Batok Crescent), but he does not typically interact with customers. He is a family member and household contact of Cases 628241, 628772, 629063 and 62939.
As he had been identified as a close contact of Case 62824, he was placed on quarantine on May 5. He is asymptomatic, but was tested for Covid-19 on May 6 during quarantine. His test result came back positive the next day. His serology test result is negative.
Case 62939 is a 54 year-old male Singapore Permanent Resident who works as a car mechanic at Jag Technical Services Pte Ltd (209 New Upper Changi Road).
His work entails occasionally going to Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) camps for servicing and repair of vehicles but he did not interact with any SAF personnel. He is a family member and household contact of Cases 62824, 62877, 62906 and 62938.
As he had been identified as a close contact of Case 62824, he was placed on quarantine on May 5. He is asymptomatic, but was tested for Covid-19 on May 6 during quarantine.
His test result came back positive the next day.
His serology test result was negative for the N antigen, which suggests the presence of early infection. Case 62939 received his first dose of Covid-19 vaccine on March 6, and the second dose on March 27.

wahsay, changi airport and east coast area many many cases....better avoid east side of sinkypura


looks like changi airport is now a indian covid centre
 
NWO..... world peace.... bomb the virus into the US carriers... fuck off from SCS..

Go back to UK the mother land of evil BE...
 
I thought masks would stop all this sort of spread. Could it be that............ MASKS DON'T WORK????? :eek::poop:

Prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the efficacy of community mask wearing to reduce the spread of respiratory infections was controversial because there were no solid relevant data to support their use. During the pandemic, the scientific evidence has increased. Compelling data now demonstrate that community mask wearing is an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce the spread of this infection, especially as source control to prevent spread from infected persons, but also as protection to reduce wearers’ exposure to infection.
COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets exhaled when infected people breathe, talk, cough, sneeze, or sing. Most of these droplets are smaller than 10 μm in diameter, often referred to as aerosols. The amount of small droplets and particles increases with the rate and force of airflow during exhalation (eg, shouting, vigorous exercise). Exposure is greater the closer a person is to the source of exhalations. Larger droplets fall out of the air rapidly, but small droplets and the dried particles formed from them (ie, droplet nuclei) can remain suspended in the air. In circumstances with poor ventilation, typically indoor enclosed spaces where an infected person is present for an extended period, the concentrations of these small droplets and particles can build sufficiently to transmit infection.
Community mask wearing substantially reduces transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2 ways. First, masks prevent infected persons from exposing others to SARS-CoV-2 by blocking exhalation of virus-containing droplets into the air (termed source control). This aspect of mask wearing is especially important because it is estimated that at least 50% or more of transmissions are from persons who never develop symptoms or those who are in the presymptomatic phase of COVID-19 illness.1 In recent laboratory experiments, multilayer cloth masks were more effective than single-layer masks, blocking as much as 50% to 70% of exhaled small droplets and particles.2,3 In some cases, cloth masks have performed similar to surgical or procedure masks for source control. Second, masks protect uninfected wearers. Masks form a barrier to large respiratory droplets that could land on exposed mucous membranes of the eye, nose, and mouth. Masks can also partially filter out small droplets and particles from inhaled air. Multiple layers of fabric and fabrics with higher thread counts improve filtration. However, the observed effectiveness of cloth masks to protect the wearer is lower than their effectiveness for source control,3 and the filtration capacity of cloth masks can be highly dependent on design, fit, and materials used. Standards for cloth masks are needed to help consumers select marketed products.
Epidemiological investigations have helped quantify the benefit of mask wearing to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (Table; Supplement). At a hair salon in which all staff and clients were required to wear a mask under local ordinance and company policy, 2 symptomatic, infected stylists attended to 139 clients and no infections were observed in the 67 clients who were reached for interviewing and testing. During a COVID-19 outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, persons who wore masks experienced a 70% lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.4 Similar reductions have been reported in case contact investigations when contacts were masked5 and in household clusters in which household members were masked.6

Studies of the Effect of Mask Wearing on SARS-CoV-2 Infection Riska

An increasing number of ecological studies have also provided persuasive evidence that universal mandatory mask wearing policies have been associated with reductions in the number or rate of infections and deaths (Table). These studies did not distinguish the types of masks (cloth, surgical, or N95) used in the community. This association is strengthened because, in many cases, other mitigation strategies (eg, school and workplace closures, recommendations for social distancing, hand hygiene) had already been deployed before enactment of mask wearing policies, after which the reductions were observed. A study that examined changes in growth rates for infections in 15 states and the District of Columbia before and after mask mandates showed that rates were growing before the mandates were enacted and slowed significantly after, with greater benefit the longer the mandates had been in place.7
Wearing a mask can become uncomfortable, particularly for long periods in warm environments, and covering the nose and mouth may inhibit verbal and nonverbal communication, particularly for children and deaf individuals. However, children aged 7 to 13 years have been shown to be able to make accurate inferences about the emotions of others with partially covered faces,8 and the US Food and Drug Administration recently approved a transparent surgical mask that may be useful in such circumstances. Concerns about reduced oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide retention when wearing a mask have not been supported by available data.9
The overall community benefit of wearing masks derives from their combined ability to limit both exhalation and inhalation of infectious virus. Similar to the principle of herd immunity for vaccination, the greater the extent to which the intervention—mask wearing in this case—is adopted by the community, the larger the benefit to each individual member. The prevalence of mask use in the community may be of greater importance than the type of mask worn. It merits noting that a recent study has been improperly characterized by some sources as showing that cloth or surgical masks offer no benefit. This randomized trial in Denmark was designed to detect at least a 50% reduction in risk for persons wearing surgical masks. Findings were inconclusive,10 most likely because the actual reduction in exposure these masks provided for the wearer was lower. More importantly, the study was far too small (ie, enrolled about 0.1% of the population) to assess the community benefit achieved when wearer protection is combined with reduced source transmission from mask wearers to others.
During past national crises, persons in the US have willingly united and endured temporary sacrifices for the common good. Recovery of the nation from the COVID-19 pandemic requires the combined efforts of families, friends, and neighbors working together in unified public health action. When masks are worn and combined with other recommended mitigation measures, they protect not only the wearer but also the greater community. Recommendations for masks will likely change as more is learned about various mask types and as the pandemic evolves. With the emergence of more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants, it is even more important to adopt widespread mask wearing as well as to redouble efforts with use of all other nonpharmaceutical prevention measures until effective levels of vaccination are achieved nationally.

Let's see.
Pre-school, primary school, secondary school, junior college, university....the viruses have visited all these educational institutions.
 
time to allow sporeans to buy shotguns in case the infected become resident evils
 
Isn't there a need for some sort of Covid testing at origin airport before passengers are accepted for travel to SG? I know fake results can be bought but strange so many imported cases are coming through from so many countries and only detected in at Changi

just too many 1671s here
just far too many

VJC student & part-time GrabFood delivery staff among new Covid-19 community cases in S'pore

Wow, Grabfood (and other companies) food delivery people travel to many places in one day. Don't forget they queue up with other customers outside hawker stalls and restaurants to order/collect the food.

Good luck everyone! :thumbsup:
