Daily Dose June 5 : Are we there yet?
 |
Are we there yet?
This is probably how we would respond to the daily cases. At average of 500
cases a day, we are probably getting tired without an end in sight.
Along the way, we would keep ourselves entertained with a dose of daily
tidbits. So here we go...
1) 517 new cases, 15 in community
502 Dorms
15 community ( 2 PR, 6 Work Pass, 7 Work Permit)
The early euphoria of 0 cases on the last day of CB dissipated.
2) Some of the community cases are current cases
All 15 are asymptomatic and were close contact of existing cases. 13 of them
are related to existing cases that had stayed in a shophouse at Veerasamy
Road.
3 cases have a positive serological test, which is indicative of past
infection, 8 came back negative indicating current infection, 2 are pending.
This indicates the virus is still active in the community. It also highlights
the need to test FW who are living in large groups settings outside of
dorms/factory dorms. This group was made to serve SHN but are not subjected to
active testing prior.
Given the possible interactions with the community at large, this would be a
concern and a possible source of a larger undetected infection
3) More than 408 000 COVID 19 test done in Singapore as of June
1
In terms of unique persons, it is only 264393. about half the test was
done on community population.
4) Places of Worship, bars, cultural venues will have to convince
authorities of robust safety plans before opening
For bars, how do you drink without removing the mask?
Would Covid19 spell the end of bars in Singapore?
5) Singapore to receive $1000 from June 18

6) Some supermarkets ease purchase limits on essential items
You can get more rice, noodles, cooking oil and even toilet papers
7) Close to 400 Covid19 related scams reports, $1.4 million cheated
from Jan to Apr
Mostly categorised into 3 types.
E-Commerce scams, impersonation scams, phishing scams
8) Teen in viral supermarket juice drinking stunt wants to claim
