      Not sure about the duration after infection before another jab is necessary.
      For evidence, if you went to a GP, there should be some proof? But for those who didn't see a GP but just did home recovery, I think there is no proof of past infection.

      My husband tested positive 2 weeks ago, and just did home recovery without seeing a GP, so no proof except a photo of the test result! I guess that won't count for anything. He had his booster in Nov. My daughters and I all tested negative throughout, so we obviously didn't catch it from him.
      Luckily everything is fine now.

        Hope your hubs is ok now. It's good that his case seem mild. Is he ok now?

          Oh no! Thank goodness you are both ok. Well, at least you are done with your CNY lunch out with friends. And you can do your online gaming with your friends like nothing happened ๐Ÿ˜„

          As more people get COVID and recover quickly from it, hopefully that will reduce the once deadly disease into a mere footnote. There is little to thank God these days, but the end of deadly COVID definitely deserves rejoicing!
          I m hoping too. Please mutate till become a weak one and become just a normal flu.

            Very mild - he was up and about all through, and felt fine after about 3-4 days.

                For those who tested ART positive at home and self-isolate, do they inform MOH and therefore added to the daily cases statistics? Without further testing, how does MOH know the virus strain for daily reporting/tracking?

                  If they are working, they have to inform their employers their ART results and their employers will submit the number of infected employee to MOM everday and I believe MOM will forward the data to MOH.

                    For working persons and students, I'm sure the stats will be included as they have to report to employer and teachers.

                    It's those non-working persons with no/mild symptoms who now follow Protocol 2 that would be missed out in the daily count, unless they choose to see a GP after self-testing positive on ART at home. If they don't see a GP, no one will know as they are not required to inform MOH. They will just self-isolate for 72h and if still positive, they will keep testing till Day 7 (for fully vaccinated) and Day 14 (for partially- or unvaccinated).

                    The VTL testing regimes have already changed for those infected overseas & recovered overseas. There's a possibility that overseas travellers who are ART-tested positive 7 days prior to departing to Singapore may still be carrying the virus. They can now just board the plane without a 48h PDT in the foreign country and are now exempt from all OAT, ARTs and SHN from 23 Jan 23:55h.

                        I still cannot recall where I catched the Covid 19, it may be the wedding dinner last week as many were together in a dinner hall. However, if it is not DH having severe symptoms and went to see GP last Saturday, I would only carry out my routine weekly ART test on every Tuesday morning. Don't know how many would be infected by me already. :slapshead:
