Singapore is doing a good job in trying to strike a balance of blanket restrictions for protection vs. people  taking personal responsibility and living normally. Let’s not over obsess about things like maskless  people talking outdoors or diners continuing to talk after eating.

 

 

First, it was your push to open up the borders completely. Now, you even encourage others to turn a blind eye to maskless people?

Singapore won't get herd immunity even with 100% COVID infection rate: Ong Ye Kung

As a Minister of Health, he should have seen this coming, especially since everyone already knew that the virus was, and IS, still mutating right now. Just goes to prove that the Minister of Health was never concerned about the health aspects of the nation, but more about the money aspects.

To start with,  he got zero background in the medical field,  is more like a fortune teller predicting when the cases will rise and fall, if rise,  then compare with the worst performing country in order to look good. Actually we just need a news reporter to report what is going on, same like monkeypox cases.

Hello. Singapore closed. All the hawker complain no business. Tourism complain no customer. Property complains tenant no money to pay. 

 

Opening up is the correct move. 

 

What's the problem now? People already voluntarily don't care liao. Ask to wear mask for protection also don't care. Happily unmasked. 

 

Why would Singapore still be closed le? 

Own citizen can't even follow regulations. 

Still closed. Your salary still freeze. And inflation how? 

 

Must open. Singaporean need to eat. BTO need to be built. 

 

2 years lock down still not enough? 

Whole world already back to normal. You still pushing what shit agenda? 

 

War in unkraine and Russia also not wearing mask...

Not so true,  first of all, sporean are rich, dont underestimate those hawkers and even those selling tissue paper,  anytime check their bank saving is properly more than u and me. 

 

Open or close,  food will still come in so we still got food to eat. China which representing one-fifth of the world's population remained close, likewise HK,  Macau,  Taiwan, Japan are all not fully open yet. 

 

I agreed with you as we can see more and more not wearing mask even inside shop,  bus and MRT. I wouldnt say these people are not scare but more of brainless and self-fish.

Two things you forget:

 

A) The next Covid wave is heading to Singapore. 

 

B) 

You play down the current or future deaths of elderly, risks groups for whom Covid might be fatal. 

 

On the elderly: Surely, there are elderly who miss the public messages as they are disconnected to media or awareness and to whom the visit of infected relatives, returning local travellers may cause hospitalisation or death.

Er, where did I play down any current or future deaths in the post you are responding to?

At least some good news for those who were infected, if it is correct...

 

Those vaccinated and got infected this year less likely to develop long Covid: NCID

 

The Straits Times, Published 5 Aug 2022

 

SINGAPORE - Vaccinated persons in Singapore who had Covid-19 during this recent Omicron wave or the one earlier in the year are much less likely to develop long Covid symptoms, said Dr Barnaby Young, head of the Singapore Infectious Disease Clinical Research Network at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID).

 

Long Covid is a condition where people experience symptoms such as chest pain, breathing difficulties and fatigue months after the initial infection has cleared.

 

“From our experience at NCID, for those who do develop long Covid, the symptoms also tend to be less severe and do not persist so long among vaccinated patients with Covid-19 due to the Omicron variant,” he said.

 

“While we do not have a diagnostic test or treatment specifically for long Covid, we do have some medication for symptom relief, and usually perform some blood or imaging tests to exclude other causes.”

 

His comments come as a new Dutch study published in The Lancet medical journal suggests that one in eight adults with Covid-19 may experience long Covid.

 

“About one in eight patients reporting long Covid is similar to what we have described in Singapore, early in the pandemic,” said Dr Young. 

 

 

The new study was conducted in the Netherlands by researchers from the University of Groningen. They collected data from online questionnaires on 23 symptoms commonly associated with long Covid from April 2020 to August last year.

 

 

The researchers compared the symptoms in people infected with Covid-19 with those who were not infected, which helps to ensure that the symptoms are not confused with non-Covid-19 ones.

 

They also asked participants if the symptoms were already present before their infection, in order to identify the core symptoms.

I still hope that MOH will set up packages for post-covid care which serves two main purposes:

• provide diagnostic care for patients who suffer long covid in terms of medical advices, medication and other support,
• provide research data on long covid patients since Singapore is a medical hub.

I agree

[sgmaven]

Unfortunately, this will cost a lot of money. I think that the government is hoping that anyone with long-COVID will use their Medisave to cover the cost of an rehab and medical care. Their fear is probably that if they address long-COVID, then people will expect the government to cover all costs with the treatment and rehab.

[sgmaven]

I do wonder what is behind this move to drop the mask mandate? Not as if we are no longer having COVID-19 cases, but we in fact have a few thousand new cases each day. Is it just an announcement to inject some "good news" into the National Day Rally, because much of it was rather sombre? Or do they think that the general public is suffering from so much "pandemic fatigue" that they cannot tolerate wearing masks anymore? I just hope that this does not lead to much higher infection numbers!

You can continue wearing your mask. No one is going to stop you from doing so.

Of course I will, especially where people density is high. However, it does not stop me from worrying if the infection and death rates are going to rise because of this dropping of the mandate.

Going to test the water again !

 

[lonelyglobe]

When they first remove the compulsory outdoor mask policy,  about 90% are still wearing them. So i expect people will still be wearing, maybe 70%?

 

With few thousand cases daily,  SG is definitely not ready for indoor mask free at this point of time. Everyone have to decide for yourself when is your comfortable timing for mask free.  For me,  i would say when the cases stabilised at a few hundred daily.

However, isn't the new ruling saying that you can go about indoors without a mask? Only mask up when taking public transport and in a healthcare setting, like hospitals or clinics.

 

I think the majority of people still wear or carry masks with them at the moment, not because of risk mitigation, but because you still need to mask up when entering a building. If that requirement is lifted, I think most people who don't take public transport (or are just walking around) will just dispense with the masks altogether.

Most retail margins are low, so if they spent $x to buy the mask, they have to sell it for at least $x to recoup their costs.

but the masks might be accumulated and be wasted in their storerms once no mask needed?

True, since there is a shelf-life for masks. I guess they will not order any more stocks, and see if they can sell at their usual price? When the EOL date starts to draw near, perhaps they will then drop prices...

Mask-wearing that is required as part of sectoral regulations, such as for food handlers to maintain good hygiene standards, will continue to apply as well.

Non-fully vaccinated arrivals:

• No longer need to serve a Stay Home Notice, nor take an exit PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test
• Must still test negative on a pre-departure test before heading to Singapore
• Must still have Covid-19 travel insurance for the duration of their stay if they are short-term visitors

Non-fully vaccinated Long-Term Pass Holders and short-term visitors aged 13 and above no longer need to apply for entry approval

You can get 50 piece of 3ply surgical masks from S$2.90 to 5.50.

 

One of the big supermarkets here is running a promotion for a box 3.95 instead of 9.95 for a grade A mask (also 3ply).

 

What lower costs do you want?

In my view they should have kept it mandatory for shopping malls also.

 

Most shopping malls are air conditioned and mask wearing is not that troublesome as outdoors it had been.

 

Recently the malls are extremely crowded again. Just today at noon there were many 50m to 100m queues at certain food stalls in the nearest mall to my office.

Over the weekend it was difficult to manoeuver around as three malls were damn crowded.

Then why do you comment on the price if you have enough?

 

With less demand, the price actually should go up...

For long face masks are no longer in shortage but oversupply...

 

Due to overproduction they might make surgical underwear out of them soon... 😆

here an overview:

Masks optional on taxis and in most indoor settings from Monday: 7 things you need to know

SINGAPORE - Mask-wearing indoors will no longer be a legal requirement except in healthcare facilities and on public transport.

This was among changes to safe management measures the multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19 announced on Wednesday (Aug 24).

Here's what you need to know about the changes:

1. Masks no longer needed indoors from Aug 29

Mask-wearing indoors will no longer be legally required from Aug 29 except in places where essential services are carried out in enclosed and crowded areas, and which are frequently used by vulnerable people.

These include healthcare facilities, residential care homes (including welfare and sheltered homes for the aged, as well as adult disability homes) and ambulances.

They also cover the indoor premises of hospitals and polyclinics, including retail, food and beverages (F&B) outlets, common areas and other facilities within the buildings.

 

 

Masks are also required in private primary care and dental facilities, specialist clinics, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics and renal dialysis centres.

 

Other settings where mask-wearing is needed include clinical and radiological laboratories, day hospices, residential care homes, Covid-19 care facilities, testing centres and vaccination centres, and emergency ambulances and medical transport vehicles.

 

Masks also need to be worn on public transport, including trains, public buses and indoor public transport facilities, such as boarding areas within bus interchanges and MRT platforms.

 

But mask-wearing on private transport modes, as well as school buses, private bus services and taxis, will be optional.

 

Those working as food handlers and in certain settings will continue to wear masks under sectoral requirements.

 

The Singapore Food Agency has made it a requirement since April 2020 for all food handlers to wear masks or spit guards. 

 

This applies to all staff engaged in selling and preparing food and drinks at all retail food establishments.

 

They include hawker centres, coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets, trade fairs and non-retail food establishments such as food processing establishments and slaughterhouses. 

 

People should also still wear masks in crowded places or when interacting with vulnerable people, the task force said.

In particular, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said experts have advised that the elderly and immunocompromised should continue to wear masks in crowded indoor settings to reduce their risk of catching any respiratory infections.

 

Mask-wearing in outdoor settings has not been legally required since March 29.

 

In pre-schools, safe management measures will also be eased with mask-wearing made optional.

 

Restrictions on pre-school visitors will be lifted from Aug 29, including those on external guests during celebrations like birthdays, the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) said in a circular to operators. 

 

Pre-schools will also no longer be required to monitor the travel plans of staff and children. 

 

For pre-schools where staff shower or bathe children, the ECDA said they can resume the practice but added that pre-schools should communicate their policies clearly to parents.

Since masking is not mandated in company-hired or even condo-provided transport services to ferry staff/residents to the nearest MRT, etc. I wonder what you will feel to be surrounded by maskless riders, who are coughing/sneezing?

Of course you can still put on a mask, but how would that make you feel if people are then disregarding the risks associated with COVID-19?

Doesn't mean that you cannot be re-infected. The government says 5% re-infection rate, but I believe it to be higher. Many people get COVID-19 nowadays, but don't test, as long as the symptoms are not severe.

I never liked it when people around coughed and sneezed, pre-COVID. In fact, I was one of the few who would wear a mask on public transport, even before it was mandated by the government, and they were saying that masks were unnecessary.

Of course we cannot control others, I am just wondering what people would do in such situations? Would they then choose to take an alternative mode of transport? Or switch to the next bus, if available?

[And then]

I am in two minds about this

I understand that masks may reduce transmission, but I do miss seeing people's faces

'Badge Lady' back in court to face fresh charges for not wearing mask

7 September 2022

 

SINGAPORE — The woman dubbed "Badge Lady", who made headlines last year for refusing to wear a face mask in public places, was brought back to court on Wednesday (7 September) on fresh charges.

 

 

 

 

The Straits Times reported that Phoon Chiu Yoke, who was given that moniker by netizens following a viral clip of her berating safe distancing ambassadors at Marina Bay Sands (MBS), is now accused of three new offences.

 

Two of the them are under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act for breaching COVID-19 regulations by failing to wear a mask when it was required. The third offence, under the Infectious Diseases Act, is for not complying with an officer during investigations.

 

The 55-year-old's case has been adjourned for a pre-trial conference on 14 October.

 

Jailed 16 weeks after being caught on numerous occasions 

Phoon was jailed for 16 weeks in September 2021 after she was caught in numerous occasions for failing to wear a face mask in public during the pandemic. She has since completed serving her jail sentence.

 

She first made headlines in May last year, when she was caught on video not wearing a mask at MBS. The viral video showed her telling the safe distancing ambassadors, "Who are you? Who are you representing? Where is your badge? Show me your badge."

 

Phoon - whom the court heard had held the rank of major in the Republic of Singapore Navy before she retired in 2002 - was handed five charges under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act later that month, but removed her mask as she walked out of the States Courts building.

 

While out on bail on 25 June last year, she was spotted at Mandarin Orchard Singapore without a mask again. She was charged over this incident, and was taken into custody with her bail revoked.

 

First-time offenders who breach laws under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act can be jailed for up to six months and fined up to $10,000. Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to a year and fined up to $20,000.

 

 

 

Her only luck is that after she leaves jail for the new violations, mask mandating might be not required at any location any longer... 😂

 

But I guess we will see her back with other new things....

Don't forget that we have not seen the last of COVID-19. How it mutates, no one can predict. Our lives may seem to be returning to what can be called normalcy, but we are still recording a few thousand cases a day locally, and deaths from COVID are still commonly recorded.

Your post is ignorant and disgusting for all approx 1,500 or more deaths since January 2022 from Omicron and all those who suffered the loss of their loved husbands, wives, grandparents, sisters, brothers, cousins, uncles, aunts or even children. 

 

Once again you come here and pretend Omicron had no impact. 

Please update yourself!

 

You should be ashamed of yourself to write something such disgusting and nasty without any respect of those who died. 

 

You also have no respect for those concerned from the loss. 

 

There was nothing wrong what I wrote because the deaths unfortunately materialised.

wrong again, again.

 

First, on January 1, there had already been 828 Covid deaths. Now, the total is around 1,600. So where are the ‘approx 1,500 or more’ deaths you are referring to? 

 

you also kept saying that the death rate was increasing, which it hasn’t. In the official MOH stats, it is In fact, if you believe actual cases number is under reported because people no longer register their cases with MOH, then the death rate has actually decreased.

 

and if you respect so much the people dying, why have you stopped posting the daily count? Do the people who died since straits times stopped reporting the numbers each day count less than those who died when it was easy for you to cut and paste?

It was on certain times. 

 

Coming with the recent numbers this is misleading. 

 

I wrote somewhere that Omicron will cause around 1000 deaths until year end. Now, the death toll is already higher.

 

The death rate decreased as the number of infections came down after the January - March and June - July peaks. 

 

 

As of noon on Monday, Singapore has reported 1,520 COVID-19 deaths since the start of the pandemic. After corrections the death rate stands now at 1,602. 

 

 

95 deaths were only reported from Feb to Oct 2020. (The initial variant was just 37 deaths.)

 

The last 2 weeks there had been another 17 deaths from Covid.
