Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
Daily Dose: Improvise, Adapt , Overcome
Day 6 without a local community case. We like this trend especially with CNY just ahead of us. While it is not the time to rest our laurels, it is a welcoming respite in the preparation for CNY. This year CNY would be unlike the others. For once clans around Singapore would not reunite in masses. Instead, small groups and even online meeting is encouraged. Everyone will have to navigate this according to their own family size and customs. It will not be easy, but given what we had gone through for 2020, we can adapt.
1) 34 Covid19 cases

There was 1 case that had community exposure. He had been tested positive only after SNH
Case 59703 is a Work Pass holder who works as a software engineer at
Pacific International Lines Pte Ltd. He arrived from India on 27 December
2020 and served SHN at a dedicated facility until 10 January 2021. His
swab done on 7 January during SHN was negative for COVID-19. He
subsequently worked from home from 11 January to 21 January. He developed
nausea on 25 January, and sought medical treatment at a general
practitioner clinic on 26 January. As he also reported intermittent cough
and a sore throat, he was tested for COVID-19 and his test came back
positive on 27 January. He has also tested preliminarily positive for the
B117 strain. His serological test result has come back positive, which
indicates a likely past infection.
2) Over 113,000 people in Singapore received first Covid19 dose, 432 adverse event reports noted after jabs
Most of such reports were for symptoms generally associated with all vaccinations and mostly resolved on their own within a few days.
These include injection site pain and swelling, fever, headache, fatigue, body aches, giddiness, nausea and allergic reactions such as itch, rash, swelling of eyes or lip. The incidence rate of anaphylaxis in Singapore stands at about 2.7 per 100,000 doses administered.

3) Financial aid for those with serious side effects from Covdi19
A one-time payout of up to $10,000 will be given to those who experienced medically significant serious side effects, were hospitalised and required care in the high-dependency or intensive care unit, but subsequently recovered.
Please lah, don't fake it just to get the $10K payout. Must be significantly serious one ok?
