It’s the unlinked cases that is an area of concern.

This is steadily climbing, take them quite a while to flag it out

Ok MOH telling us , they need another 14 days Circuit Breaker II ......... after 4th May

No worries ..... Fight on . Stay Home for now . What happened on Feb or March had past , talk no use .

Back in February, Chinese media already reported some cases in China that were infected by asymptomatic patients in the community. At that time, MOH advised everyone not to wear masks if you don't have symptoms. Now it's time to pay for your ignorance.

MOH is going to shoot in the dark now! They should have implemented a heavier lockdown than to “lock the door & open the window” type of MCO! .... COVID is watching.
