Thank you for your info. I only know that I will be exempted from any future vaccination for 180 days from the date of registered.[/quote]
LNW, did you go PCR test at doc..and that's why you got the 180days? -
Tested Positive about 10 days ago
My experience
I started with symptom- sore throat. Sincemy maid had it and was sent to isolation facility, I was prepared to get it. Cos the day before she tested positive, we spent a lot of time doing stuff together. Still my symptom started only 5th day after last contact and but I still tested negative for almost 2 days from start of symptom. I started fully isolating from the start of my symptom.
If I ever doubted the efficacy of the vaccines, I dont now. I get frequent cold/flu in the pre covid times . This was the mildest I have had. Only one day of feeling feverish, heavy head, tiredness. I was kinda ok the next day except for the throat. The was real bad.
Tested negative on Day 8, Still have mostly dry cough.
The toughest part for me was the isolating and hoping I have done enough steps to prevent them from
Steps
If you want it to be officially recognised, please go to the QTC or if you need to see a doc then a PHCP. Clinics are prepared for you, dont worry. I hesitated , worrying myself about exposing the clinic staff/doc/ other patients when I clearly knew I was Covid +ve. They are totally prepared , just let them know you are Covid positive. Doctor Anywhere didnt give me any appointment within 5 days, so that was a wasted move.
If you want to go to the QTC, use the link below to book an appointment. Then it is free. ( even if you dont stick to the appointment date or time). This is a QR code only available at the QTC ( couldnt find it on line)
https://swab.hpb.gov.sg/appointment/login?key=%7B%22iv%22%3A%22397A504548636839336A49664B385668%22%2C%22content%22%3A%22F28DA25D1469D2974C9D40DC4B4ECAE7%22%7D
I received a C+ve sms within an hour after test from HPB telling the next steps ( protocol). Then an sms from MOH a few hours later , to register my details and that of household members so that they can receive the HRN. I did for my maid and we received sms within 3 hours. However for me, I registered , waited 24 hours, called Home Recovery hotline and was instructed to register again (thru this site go.gov.sg/hrw-reg ) for each person a separate form. Did and received the hrn within a couple of hours. ( now then they can collect the ART kits)
The Home Recovery Buddy/ MOH hot line are pretty responsive . Reach out if needed.
The telemedicine link they provide didnt help - I couldnt submit the form, the hotline didnt help much, I just gave up.
From Day 8 ( Day1 being the day one tested +ve officially) , you can request for the recovery memo. So one can be exempt from testing for 7-90 days (for travelling/pre-event testing etc)
I have yet to receive me. Will update later when I do.

It is good to hear that you have relatively mild symptoms of Covid and is well recovery now. Agree that Booster shot is very important. We got our victory over Covid-19.

MOH's protocol says when one tests negative from Day 4 onwards or irrespective of test from Day 7 noon , one is out of isolation. Since the chance of being infectious after Day 7 is low even if one continues to test positive.
Across the globe that seems to be the consensus - the most infectious stage is 1-2 days before actually testing positive to 2-3 days after testing positive. US CDC suggests 5 days isolation from the day one is positive , followed by 5 days being masked when in vicinity of others. So technically saying you can still be infectious upto 10days... albeit the chances after day 5 is low.
With that in mind I have isolated for 7 days fully and even though I have tested negative, as I wasstill coughing, mostly isolated in my room , masked when I go out of my room as well as minimising interaction with others. Planning to go back to normal from tomorrow. :xedfingers:
To each his own, but this isolation thing was pretty stressful to me. From Day 7 I have been going on walks , even went cycling. Now to get rid of this hacking cough. -

My husband went to do PCR test by doctor at Clinic. For me, I believe my company has reported my case to MOM because I work for the Government. Only my boss told me that I am exempted from vaccination (if any) for 180 days. My company request us to be fully vaccinated because we are high risk essential sector.

Be patient, don't drink any ice drink and take any oily food for the time being. Sleep early is also a must.
