Daily Dose: A Glimmer of hope?
The numbers reported for Covid19 fell below 100, a number that we had no experience in weeks/months since the outbreak in the dorms.
On the economic front, packed malls, rising property and COE prices do not reflect the 'worse recession' since independence. A sign that the pandemic does not affect everyone equally.
1) 61 New Cases today
56 Dorms
2 Community (SC)
3 Imported (2 LT Pass, 1 Dependant Pass)
While the dorms are cleared, there are still 22,500 workers serving quarantine. While the headline numbers are low today, there is still a chance for a higher spike when clearing this batch.
2 SC cases were identified. They have linked cases to existing cases. One of them is 1 year old!

4) New cases reported in dorms that were previously cleared.
Let's hope it will not a spiral to a never-ending issue.
4) A mix of Online and in-person classes for undergrads
In the coming two weeks, university students starting the new academic year will be attending a mix of classes which will be conducted fully online or in-person on campus — in some cases, classes for the same module will involve a hybrid of both arrangements — depending on the number of participants for example.
