      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?

              Work from home or take a day off if still slightly unwell even with negative results ..

                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.

                      On going school I m not worried somehow..

                      The issue is going for tuition. We can have online but the online class is not that well prep. as the physical class. I would prefer online even less effective but my this dd feels online is not up to the 'base' std..she teared on first lesson which was quite shocking to me coz that was first time I seen her like that.

                      Now I m thinking should I insist on online..and she needs external help :sad:

                      I m prepared for us to get it at one point of time but but...
                      Can you consider changing tutor/tuition centre? Think some tutors/tuition centres have become very proficient at online teaching.
