The Ministry of Health said it will step up surveillance efforts and continue monitoring the spread of BA.4 and BA.5 in Singapore.
According to South African scientists, the variants can dodge antibodies from earlier infection but are far less able to thrive in the blood of people vaccinated against COVID-19. But knowledge of the variants remains limited, with the WHO adding them to its list for monitoring earlier last month. "It is still early for this subvariant but so far we are not sensing more cases of severe disease," Professor Dale Fisher, senior consultant at National University Hospital's division of infectious diseases, told CNA.Q: Are we likely to see a wave of new cases?
In the case of South Africa, there has been no increase in severe cases and deaths, according to Professor Marta Nunes, a researcher at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto who spoke to the Associated Press.Q: Will COVID-19 restrictions need to be reimposed? "Reimposition of pandemic-era measures would be needed only if it looks like severe cases will exceed the healthcare system’s capacity to absorb them," he said."So it's about monitoring the virus as it changes genetically and observing the clinical impact. Only then can we act with an appropriate response," he said.
