Reported few days ago, ART is less accurate for Omicron. Some people tested negative for ART but positive for PCR. You take care.

Those on HRW (not confirm case) need to take ART for 5 consecutive days. Your colleague (confirm case), 4th day can go back office to work liao, scary.

Think would be better if can be certified by doctor that her PCR test is negative before going back office,

yah man, i better be mindful n remember to have lesser contact with her,

the new protocol can no need see doc if not unwell , my kids caught common cold, clinic was so packed last wk end when we see doc... private GP also need to wait abt 1.5 to 2hrs + , worst is so many patients - covid, potential covid, normal flu, cold, cough ,stomach flu etc ... poor doc and clinic asst

My frd in private practice ended his clinic at 11.10pm when usual is closed at 9pm. Not easy times for everyone.

Yes the clinics are swarmed with patients… it’ll be a long wait to just go in to get certified fit for work, better to take a day off or WFH. Be socially responsible…

But ART is not that accurate for Omicron… ART maybe negative but PCR positive. 4th day can recover and go back office, hmmm… that’s a bit fast.

Yes dd told me classmate tested positive with brand A ART and on same day tested negative on brand B ART. No symptoms.


Another sharing. So friend’s vaccinated teenager got symptoms (fever, throat pain, running nose) tested ART positive. Went tele-consulting, was told this is not considered going to see doctor, in the end, not recorded officially as C+, family/close contacts not issued HRW. Self isolate at home. After 5d still ART positive. Trace together will not be updated that she has contracted C+ b4 and she’s expected to take booster due soon. Do you think MOH procedures here is a bit flawed? MOH website also states there is no recommendation to take booster for fully vax C+ person but if the vac status lapsed, the person will be considered unvax so what should the mom do?

Sometimes, things are not so simple, boss is tracing you coming back to office to work once your ART result is negative. You cannot say \"no\"..if say \"no\"...all bonus will be gone....money is difficult to earn now. :frustrated:

I hope she has taken a photo against her ID for all her ART tests. This was what I did everyday when I visited the hospital and that was a proof of ART test acceptable by MOH (of course mine was negative cos I had to visit a patient) With that, I believe she can write to MOH and extend her booster to a later date since she has the immunity in her which would last her for a few months.
