Health protocols for COVID19 should be now “drastically simplified” so people know what to do if they test positive or are in contact with an infected case: PM Lee

SINGAPORE: Singaporeans must update their mindsets about COVID-19 and not be paralysed by fear, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

“You can get well in a familiar home setting, without the stress and bother of admitting yourself into a care facility. If most of us can recover at home, it will greatly ease the strain on our hospitals, doctors and nurses,” he said. “Earlier, our service delivery fell short but we have worked hard to fix this, and put things right,” he said.

“Knowing what to do, we will no longer find COVID-19 such a scary disease,” he said, as he urged the population to do their part to keep everyone safe, in particular those who are more vulnerable, such as the elderly and seniors who have not been vaccinated. “If we reach 5,000 COVID cases a day, every day we can expect around 100 to become seriously ill – not a small number,” he said.

Mr Lee urged those who were unvaccinated to get their COVID-19 jabs, and vaccinated seniors to get their booster shots to strengthen their immunity.

The speech will be carried live on all Mediacorp’s platforms, including CNA Great. Trust it's about protecting seniors as in CNA's commentary today. I'm sure it can't be some 'endemic' talk about everyone getting Covid! I don’t foresee anything new from what we already know. Hospital beds and health professionals are in short supply due to great foresight and planning 😞, from our well paid MTF. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 govsingapore singapolitics
