We need to raise our alertness as community spread can be fast if we get too complacent with vaccination. It’s not 100% protection & there are alr many variants/mutations of covid virus reached our shore.
Keep safe & healthy folks for this long weekend! -
For the TTSH cluster, is “the nurse” confirmed as the index patient ??
Why the TTSH cluster was constantly referred to as “the nurse cluster”, which I think it’s a bit unfair to the poor Filipino nurse… How about we keep saying “ceca cluster”?
I chanced upon a ST online short clip which seems to say that the index patient seems to be a patient having fever (never mention Singaporean or PR or foreigner) tested negative and was transferred to another ward, which shortly after, another patient sleeping next to the earlier patient started having fever too. Then the Filipino nurse started to show symptoms and was tested positive. 1st to be tested positive doesn’t mean must be the index patient.
Is it not to whitewash TTSH so it is referred to as “the nurse” cluster? -
Did they mention which strain?

I didn’t read the type of strain circulating in the clusters.

Community cases rising very rapidly. Contact tracing shows many shopping Centres & food places were visited, I’m sure public tpt cld be mode hence covid viruses spreading faster.
Do stay safe. -

I dont understand why we are in this mess. We did very well with no or a couple of community cases for months. We follow rules ie using TT token, SafeEntry & Temp Check, we wear a mask, we get vaccinated etc.

Sadly, not everybody is behaving socially responsible.

For bz viability, we’ve to open for bz travelers & those with kids studying in SG or LTVP (which is now barred). That’s before mutated strains fr Brazil, Italy , Britain & India before their nation gotten serious medical breakdown & u know their big population & many who don’t buy/wear masks.

Even now, some will be allowed on a case-by-case basis for compassionate situation. Alr, with effect fr today, those visiting Lucky Plaza or Peninsula a Plaza will revert to odd & even number entry & WFH practices. Hope situation will not escalate to a serious state to hv to revert kids on HBL. It’s tough for kids & parents. Maybe then, helpers will be asked to stay home on rest days again.
Many countries started blocking travellers fr India & hopping transit to neighboring countries before reaching SG as their target.
Think if we continue to be vigilant & I'm really hoping there’ll be reduced crowd at Shopping Centres & restaurants. I see many not wearing masks properly & crowds moving in very close tight spaces. So, even tho it’s inconvenient for family gathering or celebration (forthcoming Hari Raya & Mother’s Day), we shld all regain our vigilance so as to stop the virus spread. We can do it with some sacrifice, for the long term gain. Any carelessness with one & many may compromise our elderlies & those with more vulnerable health might also burden our medical care frontliners.
Stay safe! -

Most of the community cases are linked, so haven’t reached that scary stage yet.

Last time we had like 60-70 new cases per day and mostly unliked. Now we only have 2 clusters, TTSH and ICA. ICA cluster seems contained, left TTSH cluster and the cases may still continue to climb.
For TTSH, I think the biggest problem is, all the patients aren’t wearing masks while lying down on the hospital beds. Sigh...
