Yesterday, Hong Kong imposed its own “Circuit Breaker” after controlling the COVID-19 outbreak for months, which means that all it takes is just a few days for things to go out of control.
Which is why you should know the number of daily cases religiously.
Today, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 359 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore.
This brings the total number of cases in Singapore to 51,197.
Out of today’s cases, there’s only 1 community case: a work pass holder.
There are also 2 imported cases, and both were placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore.
A majority of the cases are residents living in dormitories.
Based on yesterday’s numbers, on average, the number of new cases in the community has decreased, from an average of 10 cases per day in the week before, to an average of 5 per day in the past week.
The number of unlinked cases in the community has also decreased, from an average of 5 cases per day in the week before, to an average of 3 per day in the past week.
And we should look at the number like a hawk, if not we might go Hong Kong way.
Hong Kong Bans Dine-In After Keeping the Virus Under Control for Months
Yesterday, after a meeting by the Executive Council, new restrictions that sound like our Circuit Breaker were imposed in Hong Kong.
Gathering is restricted to two people, and everyone must put on a mask when they’re in public spaces—even in covered outdoor area. Dine-in would be banned. All sports premises and swimming pools would be shut down, too.
The restrictions kicked in after three-digit daily cases were reported in six straight days. What was disturbing was that the community cases could no longer to be traced back to any cluster—in other words, unlinked cases were raising.
If this can happen to Hong Kong, it can happen in Singapore, too, so download the TraceTogether app to help fight COVID-19. If you’re still worried about privacy, then watch this video (and also subscribe to our YouTube channel, please?):
