The 37-year-old permanent resident, who was infected with the Delta Plus variant while he was overseas in May last year, fell victim again - this time to the Omicron variant - while travelling to Sing

apore last month under the Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme.

John's 60-year-old mother-in-law and 76-year-old grandmother, who were also infected in May, managed to make a full recovery. Both were fully vaccinated while John and his wife were not then. John, who completed two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine in October and November last year, believes the milder nature of Omicron and being fully inoculated offered him more protection against severe illness when he was reinfected.Makes sense to live with Omicron and treat it as no different from other Covid-19 variants: Experts

"The risk of hospitalisation is lower for Omicron cases with symptomatic or asymptomatic infection after the second or third dose of vaccine," she noted.

He was travelling when he got infected on both occasions. Import duties

Bring in more to your infect the nation!

Why mention PR. if you're a Singaporean. This is supposed to treat the PR's with disdain?

One word. Suey.

DelthiaRicks He was unvaccinated when he got Delta. He was very sick. Then he got Omicron which gave him mild symptoms. *There was no natural immunity in his case. *Whither herd immunity?

God must really hate this man 😂

So what? Nothing better or more interesting to report?

“Omicron…also more likely to infect people who previously had Covid-19,'…well done… this means, we will never see infection number ever coming down again…😷

Straits times ang moh sibey tok kong. ' S'porean PR. ' LoL

Seriously there are so many people (like I have relatives got it 3 times in last 2 years) and so what…🙄

So the fuck what?

LOL. It means Covid Vaccine does not stop covid AT ALL. NEVER. It does not stop you from getting infected & you can infect others. So how does that HELP. Lies after lies after lies till NOW. Maybe the vaccine itself is spreading covid since only innoculated person can travel?

'Dr Choy highlighted that vaccination is vitally important for people to guard against severe illness with an 81 per cent reduction in the risk of hospitalisation for those who have three doses of a vaccine compared with unvaccinated Omicron cases'

Endless fearmongering ST...

epic fail 😂

Already so many imported omicron cases ..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can a journalist pls call me? I had 3 colds in 2019, 2 in 2020 and 2 in 2021. I am willing to tell my story.

S.African study suggests Omicron less severe even for unvaccinatedUnvaccinated people infected with the Omicron variant of coronavirus may be less prone to severe illness and requiring hospital care or dying than was the case with previous variants, a South African study showed on Friday. Omicron globally has tended to cause less severe disease, and proportionally fewer hospital admissions and deaths, than previous variants. Scientists are trying to determine the extent to which this is because of higher immunity rates engendered by vaccination or past illness, or Omicron is intrinsically less nasty.
