SINGAPORE: All visits to hospital wards will be suspended for four weeks starting Friday , as the detection of COVID-19 cases among staff, patients and visitors has put a strain on staffing and capacity at some hospitals.

These include patients who are in critical condition, paediatric patients, birthing or post-partum mothers and patients requiring additional care support from caregivers. Individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 and are able to present a valid pre-event test exemption notice will not be required to undergo testing.

This comes as more COVID-19 cases are “presenting pre-symptomatically or asymptomatically”, it said. Patients presenting acute respiratory infection symptoms are currently being segregated from other patients.

Hahaha! And all of them are vaccinated too! You have no idea not a clue about what to do. Enjoy the destruction of your little island.

hospital Frontline staff mostly jabbed Pfizer in Jan Feb & are as good as unvaccinated now... MTF is few steps behind AGAIN... same for travellers from Germany etc.. have to set a 6 months validity on vaccination status.. considered unvax and banned if otherwise.

Asymptomatic Vaxed are carriers of Delta and continue to infect and spread to others. No different from Unvaxed

We'll it's boiled down to demand & supply. Hopefully either those asymptomatic &/or mild symptoms infected ppl dun suffer into serious illness.. regardless vaxxed or unvaxxed. Make no mistake coz living will get disrupted in either ways..

👍hope people will understand and pls don't make things difficult for the hospitals staff.
