Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

We didn’t do so much disinfecting at home as only small family. I have just changed to online tuition so the only places we go will be school and same supermarket.

Oh yes, we’re all masks up at home. Can hear DH’s tough breathing thro the masks. It’s tough for him esp he’s usually the stronger man around the house.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood as both tested positive and recovered .
Hope he recovers soon.
And you all stay negative

There maybe a few facilities. We need to raise a request , and needs to be approved. There are a few valid reasons - one unable to isolate at home and having vulnerable people at home like elderly above 80 or unvaccinated or those under cancer treatment etc.

I think they are getting too many requests now so have separate facilities -- 2-3 weeks ago a friend's friend's helper was put up in a hotel by herself , now my helper is put up in a dorm with 4 others. And there seems to be a huge back log -- helper reached there at 3 plus but was provided the bed only around 8. She said there were tons of maids waiting in an open area for isolation. Lucky I had packed her with some biscuits, bread , water, along with meds.

I had all procedure information on hand from early this month , still felt a little overwhelmed when she tested positive. You can only raise the request only after the official test results are with MOH. It is \"free\" of cost to us , that must be quite some cost to MOH though - not just facility, and food but also the manpower to arrange all this and followup . Patients are discharged once ART negative after day 3 or on Day 7 irrespective of ART.

Really really thankful for it. This was one thing that gave me some peace of mind since we are back to office once a week and DS is going to school.

Sun,

Thankful for sharing.

It’s good that MOH helps cater for helpers, esp when in SG, many families wld hv constrains to quarantine helpers with own toilet & serve meals.

I’m asking bcoz currently helping a frd to mobilize a helper to SG. So, looking for appropriate quarantine accommodations esp need to ensure incoming helper gets her meals whilst in quarantine. But these will be different fr yr in-service helper who caught covid.

I’m still negative. Surprising coz usually DH is the stronger one & im often falling sick at the slightest ‘opportunity’.

There are many families who have a helper to look after old and young.
We need to know what if the helper catches the virus.

Even more pple became C+, am glad that our situation isnt as dire as in HK.

The virus is affecting many aged or care facilities in HK which have many unvaccinated seniors.
HK used to pride on its stellar control on the covid but now has one of the highest death rates in the world.

But we still have 18 persons passed away due to Covid 19 infections yesterday in Singapore.
