      Think I saw at NTUC, lots of Ukraine white shell eggs but nobody touched them. Think also sooner or later need to dump!!
      ...
      Guess no more Ukrainian eggs for quite some time.

        May I check, if a person is still tested positive on the 8th day and still went back to school or work because ‘government say can go back’, is the risk of infecting others still quite Low as per medical research ( if any)? Asking as I felt a bit uneasy still, though I am hearing more of such cases around me……

          This is a guideline for myself.

          If a C+ person is still positive after 7 days:
          1. but have no symptoms, go to work or school but ensure mask up at all times, meaning even eating try to go to a corner and eat alone first. Keep the 1m safe distance

          2. but have mild symptoms like cough from the Covid not chronic cough, then stay home a bit longer till ART is negative because you will scare everyone around you for sure when you cough. (gotta discuss with employer and school)

          3. have symptoms that need to see a doctor, then PLEASE STAY AT HOME until full recovery. (this is pretty straight forward that work and school should be stopped)

          The other consideration is the industry we work in. If the industry is in touch with many people or vulnerable people, then it's better to stay away until ART is negative...this is then dependent on the employer to decide.....eg. F&B industry or nursing home industry... I think it's best they do not serve food to people if they are still C+ or take care of the vulnerable if they are still C+

            It seems like so even still positive..think reason like not that infectious or something like that. Sounds scary.

            I asked dd if there is anyone absent in her class..shortly after that i was thinking..maybe not many as even same roof with C+ family members can go out after ART-.

              Not necessarily must return on Day 7. If still -ve, the recommendation is keep testing until -ve. No specific discharge date \"~\"

                  HRN is based on nomination?
                  So it means it is an infected close contact which the TT app or token records plus nominated by the infected person? It mapped my first experience but not my second.

                  My second time HRN apparently was a complete stranger cos nobody I knew now that I have come into contact the past few days were tested C+. HRN usually dispatches immediately right, within 24 hours? :scratchhead:
                  Heard from the grapevine that it was based on class seat map submitted by teacher, as well as C+ pupil's own info to teacher regarding his/her recess/CCA/school bus close contacts. As you know, in a school setting kids don't scan their TT tokens at the gate and are disallowed from using HPs during school hours. It's all based on FTs judgment and perhaps kids' own recollection.

                  As for non school settings, I'm not sure about the revised parameters set by GovTech, i.e. how many minutes of contact, and proximity from C+ person to trigger a HRN to a stranger. You might have sat next to this person for quite some time? Transient passersby don't count anymore.

                  Previously, C+ persons would receive an SMS link to nominate close contacts, but this weblink has been removed by MOH following the implementation of this new 5-day HRN protocol. Perhaps they want to prevent pp from abusing the nomination system. You can always bluff that you had drinks with ABC, because ABC needs more free ART kits! 😆

                    Yes, that's the default, but one should play by ear. If still unwell and +ve on Day 8, then stay isolated lah. Be socially responsible. Take selfie with the Day 8 +ve cartridge with date/time/name to WA boss/HR.

                      Yup, agree..social responsibility. It really depends on the individuals now. Now is by right you can..

                        Covid cases increasing in community! Let’s stay vigilant. There goes my b’day celebration.


                        Think businesses & kids all greatly disappointed. Will not be able to reconnect with frds outdoors. Hope F&B didn’t order too much perishables.
