So during the 14 days, all your meals and grocery have to be delivery or get someone to buy and deliver to your house. What is the difference between being issued a Quarantine Order (QO), being under a Leave of Absence (LOA) and being under a Stay-Home Notice (SHN)? A QO is a legal order issued to individuals under the Infectious Diseases Act and thus have legal force with severe penalties for non-compliance. A QO is issued to quarantine or isolate an individual who is, or is suspected to be, a carrier of an infectious disease, or a contact of a person confirmed to have an infectious disease. This is with the aim of limiting the spread of the virus in the community. Quarantine usually occurs in the home but can also be served in dedicated Government Quarantine Facilities (GQFs) or hospitals, should the individual not have suitable accommodation in Singapore. A Leave of Absence (LOA) is a precautionary measure. We urge those who are on LOA to be socially responsible and comply with the LOA, to prevent possible transmission of infections. Persons on LOA should remain in their residences as much as possible, minimise having visitors and maintain good records of persons with whom they come into close contact. Persons on LOA may leave their residences for daily necessities or to attend important matters, but they must minimise time spent in public spaces and contact with others. A Stay-Home Notice (SHN) is stricter than the LOA regime. Those placed on SHN will have to remain in their place of residence at all times, and should not invite visitors to their residence.

Guest daydreaming Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 # Singapore never had sufficient local Singaporean workforce to guarantee business growth and expansion. Investors and FDI would move to other parts of SEA or the world if they are unable to grow. Due to the lack of local Singaporean business world champions Singapore is heavily reliant on inflow of FDI to ensure economic growth and job creation. But it seems this is all too difficult for you to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday in a sparsely populated hardware store me and another person accidentally did run into each other. The app could flag this as "dangerous". Maybe... maybe the cellular service providers should download this app into every phone in their service, and force it to stay active. .

Guest news Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Straits times SINGAPORE - Two people - one man and a woman - died from Covid-19 on Saturday morning (March 21) due to complications, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong told reporters. The woman, a 75-year-old Singaporean, was admitted on Feb 23 for pneumonia and had been in intensive care for 26 days. She died at 7.52am on Saturday morning. The man, a 64-year-old Indonesian national, was admitted to intensive care on March 13 after arriving in Singapore from Indonesia on the same day. This is the full statement from the Ministry of Health: The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed that two patients have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection on 21 March morning. 2. The first patient was a 75 year-old female Singapore Citizen. She was admitted to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) on 23 February for pneumonia, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on the same day. She had been cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU) since admission to NCID. She developed serious complications and eventually succumbed to the infection after 26 days in the ICU on 21 March at 7.52am. She had a history of chronic heart disease and hypertension. 3.

He was admitted in critical condition to the ICU at NCID on 13 March, after arriving in Singapore from Indonesia on the same day, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on 14 March.

Why still work passes? Is it so that they have a choice of where to stay when times turn bad, like staying in Sg now instead of their homeland where the situation may be worse? Why? Why have the entire family not converted their citizenship yet, even after 10 years staying here? Can explain? 50 to 60% may be currently Singaporeans returning. What about the remaining 40 to 50%? One can recognize in your post a pettiness that is out of place in a conversation about a serious pandemic that is affecting the whole world. The Corona virus does not discriminate based on nationality nor on how people choose their citizenship. Why should you? All humans we are entitled to life and the pursuit of happiness. If you could get this in your head, you may be able to lose your hate for foreigners, immigrants, and, underneath all this, for all people in general.

lonelyglobe Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Doesnt matter if is foreigners or locals, the fact is all are classified as imported cases and the problem is we do not have a solution to stop this. All the restrictions imposed like 1 m rule, banning 250 people gathering etc are good but then it does not stop imported case, only way is to close door like so many countries have been doing.

Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 just pondering, with the virus now being widespread globally, i would think most cases in most countries r probably imported. if only all countries STOP all forms of travelling (with e exception of evacuating of citizens/PRs from overseas) immediately for 30 days, maybe the virus could b contained within? n maybe might stop spreading this fast?
