      I think someone mentioned before .. virus go straight into digestive system should be ok. So this is what we going to wear for many years to come? more comfy.
      Actually I think it's not a bad idea though it looks funny on first sight! πŸ˜‚
      I think it's still good to wear it while eating if one breathes through the nose like me.

        You're referring to the mask over the nose but not mouth? It may be safer for the wearer, but not for people around her. She may exhale the virus through her mouth. And some people do breathe in through their mouths too.

          Sis and kids all received HRW. And just when that HRW expired, her DD received another HRW due to classmate being positive. She was lamenting just when she thought no need to do daily ART anymore now gotta do another week in order for the kid to go to school. ART oos at the few vending machines near her home as well.
          That's inconsistent-- a person getting HRW back to back. :nailbite:

          My dc was in the 1st HRW group being called out last week.

          3 days into their HRW period, another friend previously not in the 1st HRW group contracted Covid from somewhere but somehow no new contacts needed to serve HRW despite being in the same classroom.

          7 days upon the completion of the initial group's HRW, yet another person got it from God-knows-where, and again no one around him received any HRW thereafter. All the people in the 1st HRW group had been tested -ve every day, meaning they were able to attend school and were therefore in close contact with the 2 new C+ friends throughout the week. Yet, no need to re-serve HRW like your niece. Haha...They assumed the 2 new C+ folks got it from the \"class epicentre\", but I understand it is not true cos their siblings/parents actually got it from outside! They are of different links.

          No wonder so many HRW complaints on MOH's FB comments page on 15 Feb. There was no update on daily cases on 16 Feb on MOH FB. I know there were 13 deaths as of 12 pm yesterday.

              Yah very inconsistent.

              I had cases in one of my operations and we had calls after calls from MOH to submit names and all of contact tracing and all in contact were issued HRW. Best thing is within that week we had a few cases surfacing over a few days and each time a different officer will ask for the contact list all over again. I had to tell them time and again that HRW has been issued to this same list of people already and they say have to update their HRW to cover the 7 days from last known case. So I asked them in that case it will be a never ending HRW.

              On the other hand, my other site also had cases and my manager submitted all the info to MOH and waited very patiently for MOH to contact them and until the 7th day, no one contacted them to follow up on the cases or to issue HRW. 🀷

                Based on info from those infected and those who received HRW, a person will only receive HRW if the +ve contact register them in a link after they visit the doctor. If the infected contact did not visit a doctor or did not register them/their info in the link, then no HRW will be received.

                  I think they work differently if it’s school children.. I feel like almost 60% of the children have been issued HRW…

                    Yes. There may be special situations, like schools, hospitals and specific sectors, where schools/employers may be required to report all positive cases. In those cases, close contacts will get HRW, I expect. I know a family where the positive person intentionally went to see a GP to get into the system (before the supervised ARTs) so that all the family members could get HRW and the free test kits. They could have just self-imposed home recovery, but wouldn't have got the free kits.

                      Not too sure, never receive what we were expecting but followed the protocol and tested daily before leaving home, from a social responsibility perspective.
