Daily Dose June 27 : Thou Shall Not Touch
Hands off!
With GE campaigning in full swing, members of the public are reminded to
observe safe distancing and NOT touch the candidates.
Do not remove face mask when taking a photo with candidates ( even at home).
If you post on social media without masks with the candidate, you might get
yourself and the candidate in trouble!
1) 221 cases reported for Covid19
213 Dorms
6 Community ( 5 Sporeans / 1 Work Pass)
After a couple of promising days, the numbers rose once more.
The dorms numbers continue to remain high. Currently, 120K workers had been
tested negative or recovered. There are 323,000 workers in Singapore. Given
the rate of spread among workers in dorms, this will continue until the
testing in dorms are completed.
2) 6 in the community including 5 Singaporeans
4 Singaporeans are lined to existing cases, 1 unlinked.
Among the linked cases, a man had met up with a large group of people for
sports and social activities.
A few interesting observations.
- Did the man participate in sports and social activities in groups of more
than 5?
- The man was identified as a contact of an existing case, why was he not
quarantine as a result? There should be more restrictions on people who are in
contact with existing cases to control possible future infection.
3) 6 new locations identified as places visited by Covid19 cases
Includes a Spa and beauty Service shop where the cases probably have close
contact with another!

4) 14 men to be charged for breaching safe distancing measures
6 men invited 6 other men to a house during Phase 1
5) Severe Covid19 can damage the brain
There are still many unknowns about Covid19
6) Singapore may use saliva as it ramps up testing capacity
It will be a much less painless way to get sample compared to a swab test.
7) GE2020 - Cannot touch candidates
Members of the public should not come into physical contact with candidates.
If a candidate enters a person’s home, five visitor rule still applies
1m distancing, mask-wearing rules apply throughout GE2020 campaign
8) Liverpool crown Champions of EPL
It has been 30 years since this last happens. YNWA
