It would be good news if I was a Pinoy PR. But the bad news is that I am Singaporean born in Singapore.
Don't forget this side effect.
from MOH report 11 June 2021:
EXPERT COMMITTEE ON COVID-19 VACCINATION'S ASSESSMENT ON MYOCARDITIS AND PERICARDITIS FOLLOWING MRNA COVID-19 VACCINATION
1. The Expert Committee has been closely monitoring international reports that the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may be associated with a small risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men. We have reviewed the currently available international and local data. Our assessment is that the benefits of receiving the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, i.e., reduction in COVID-19 infections and severe complications even if infected, continue to outweigh the risks of vaccination.
Myocarditis and Pericarditis with mRNA Vaccines
2. Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions affecting the heart muscles and the outer lining of the heart respectively. They occur more often in men compared to women. Patients present with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or abnormal heartbeats. Most cases are mild, recover without the need for significant intervention and do not suffer any long-term effects, although very rarely, severe cases may result in damage to the heart muscles. Myocarditis and pericarditis are separate and distinct conditions from heart attacks which are caused when blood flow to the heart is blocked.
3. Increased occurrences of myocarditis and pericarditis after the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations have been observed overseas (Israel and the United States [US]) in adolescents and young men below the age of 25 years. The risk of this has been estimated to be 1.6 cases per 100,000 doses for mRNA vaccines in the US, which is comparable to the risk of anaphylaxis observed in Singapore. To date, there is no observed incremental risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after the first dose of vaccine.
4. Locally, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has reported 4 cases involving young men aged between 18 to 30 years. This is at the upper end of the expected range for this age group, based on background incidence rates. Most of the cases were reported to have occurred within a few days after receiving the second dose of the vaccine. All have recovered or have been discharged well from hospital.
Recommendations
5. While further studies and investigations are on-going, the currently available data suggests that there may be a very small risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after the second dose of an mRNA vaccine, particularly in young men. As a precaution, EC19V recommends that vaccinated persons, in particular adolescents and younger men, should avoid strenuous physical activity for one week after their second dose. During this time, they should seek medical attention promptly if they develop chest pain, shortness of breath or abnormal heartbeats.
6. COVID-19 continues to be a health threat globally and in Singapore. The emergence of infectious variants can lead to widespread community COVID-19 transmission as well as the risk of severe COVID-19 disease and complications, including long term chronic complications. EC19V assesses that the benefits of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations continue to outweigh the known and potential risks.
7. EC19V will continue to monitor the available data as further analyses are conducted locally and internationally and will provide an update to the public.

KNN my uncle leelised trace together and quarantine orlars and procedures are all for show onlee to show that mtf is doing something KNN eg uncle A work in a confined space sharing tables and chairs with uncle B and when uncle B was called up and escorted for quarantine uncle A was never involved in the contact list at all not even shn KNN in this eg a few more uncles were sharing the same table chairs and computers with uncle B so if uncle B tio covid all or most of the uncles will also tio KNN sinkie should just take it as a pinch of salt leegarding anything the mtf do KNNSingapore residents are complaining about quarantine orders.

SINGAPORE — Singapore’s government said Friday it will further ease Covid-related restrictions next week, but at a slower pace than previously announced as local infections have not declined significantly.
The government started relaxing some measures this week, including increasing the limits on social gatherings and event attendees.
It said that starting Monday, “higher-risk activities” such as dining in and indoor mask-off sports and exercises will be allowed to resume in groups of two people — instead of five people as previously announced.

“The number of cases in the community has somewhat stabilized, but it’s not going down significantly and we’re seeing several unlinked cases every day,” said Gan Kim Yong, Singapore’s minister for trade and industry who co-chairs the country’s Covid taskforce.
“Therefore we remain concerned, especially when we have yet to achieve a high level of vaccination,” Gan told reporters at a briefing.

Covid is ‘endemic’ and will not go away, says Singapore’s foreign minister
Singapore has to be cautious in resuming activities deemed to be of higher risks due to the more transmissible delta variant first detected in India, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said at the same briefing.
Ong, who also co-chairs the Covid task force, said a phased reopening will help “buy time to get more people vaccinated, so the imperative now is to boost vaccinations.”
Singapore has one of the fastest vaccination roll-outs in Asia-Pacific, but lags many countries in the West. Around 2.7 million people — or roughly 49% of the population — have received at least the first dose of Covid vaccine as of Tuesday, Ong said. Around 35% of the population have been fully vaccinated, he added.
The fast-spreading delta Covid variant could have different symptoms, experts say
Costa Rica rejects delivery of China’s Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine, says it is not effective enough
Africa sees 44% spike in new Covid infections, 20% increase in deaths
WHO says delta Covid variant has now spread to 80 countries, and it keeps mutating
The country had largely controlled the spread of Covid until a flare-up in locally transmitted cases in end-April. Many of the recent cases were caused by the delta variant. The rise in cases forced the government to tighten social-distancing measures twice last month.
Daily reported cases in the local community fell to single-digit levels for most of last week, but have stayed above 10 cases per day since Sunday as a major cluster of infections emerged around a wet market in southern Singapore.
Overall, the Southeast Asian country has reported 34 deaths and more than 62,300 confirmed cases since the beginning of 2020 as of Thursday, health ministry data showed.

Barring another super-spreader event or a big cluster of infections, the government will allow those activities for groups of up to five from mid-July.
“The number of cases in the community has somewhat stabilized, but it’s not going down significantly and we’re seeing several unlinked cases every day,” said Gan Kim Yong, Singapore’s minister for trade and industry who co-chairs the country’s Covid taskforce.
