Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’d know that Singapore has moved into Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), in which having Bak Kut Teh in public would be banned again.
But there’s a reason for this, of course: COVID-19 cases have been soaring. The number of new cases in the community has increased from 43 cases in the week before to 91 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has increased from 9 cases in the week before to 16 cases in the past week.
And yesterday (14 May), 52 new cases were reported, with 24 community cases.
20 of them are linked to previously confirmed cases.
Two new clusters were also formed after yesterday’s report.
This includes a tuition centre, Learning Point located at Parkway Centre. Reports of students being infected yesterday were all from this cluster, so there hasn’t been any outbreak in a school.
The other cluster started from a nurse in Sengkang General Hospital, but her case is limited to close contacts and not the hospital (yet).
Unlinked Cases Reported on 14 May Include GrabFood Rider & WOK HEY Cook
What’s worrying is that the number of unlinked cases continues to rise.
4 unlinked cases were reported yesterday:
- A 39 year-old male China national who is employed by SATS Food Services Pte Ltd as a chef at Changi Prison. He developed a fever and runny nose on 12 May after work, and sought medical treatment at a General Practitioner (GP) clinic, where he was tested for COVID-19. His test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection the next day. His serology test result is pending. He received his first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on 23 March, and the second dose on 10 April.
- A 22 year-old male Singaporean who works as a cook at WOK HEY (White Sands). He developed a fever, cough and runny nose on 10 May evening and sought medical treatment at a GP clinic the next day, where he was tested for COVID-19. His test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection on 13 May. His serology test result is pending.
- A 70 year-old female Singaporean who is a retiree. She developed a fever and cough on 10 May evening, and sought medical treatment at a GP clinic the next day, where she was tested for COVID-19. Her test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection on 13 May. Her serology test result is pending.
- A 48 year-old male Singaporean who works as a GrabFood delivery personnel. He developed a fever, cough and sore throat on 12 May night and sought medical treatment at Singapore General Hospital the next day, where he was tested for COVID-19. His test result came back positive for COVID-19 infection on 14 May. His serology test result is pending.
Of course we can only pray that the serology test results for them are positive, so that would indicate a past infection.
In the meantime, wear your masks because it’ll help. Watch this video to the end and you’ll understand:
