Singapore: When COVID-19 first arrived, scientists and doctors were told that COVID-19 would not disappear immediately and that constant vigilance was needed. This warning of doctors and scientists seems to be true. Covid has emerged in Singapore. The number of Covid cases there was 13,700 from May 5 to 11 and has increased to 25,900.
The Singapore government is currently monitoring the situation. According to the data received by them, 25700 cases were reported in the country on May 11. Mandatory wearing of masks has been 'ordered'.
The island nation's Health Ministry says there were 13,700 cases between the 5th and the 11th. After this, the number of cases doubled in the week of 12 to 19 May. 25900 registrations were done.
With this, the number of daily 181 cases coming to hospitals has increased to 250. Therefore, government hospitals have been ordered not only not to take non-urgent cases, but also to avoid non-urgent surgeries and refer those patients to other hospitals. As the number of Covid cases is increasing, hospitals are likely to fall short of beds.
Singapore's Health Minister Ong Yee Kung said that the most worrying thing is that the Covid-19 wave has just begun. This is just the beginning. The danger is that the tide is rising slowly. So says “Straight-Times”.
Ong-ye-kung said the wave will peak in the next two to four weeks, from mid to late June. Covid-19 attacks young children and especially people above 50 years of age. Therefore, protect children and be careful of the elderly. The Health Minister has also asked everyone to take the vaccine. People who have been vaccinated but 12 months have passed since then should get vaccinated immediately.
The most important thing he did was to calculate how many air services there were to and from Singapore. So it is possible that the germs of Covid may have been infected here through some air service. It is well known that Covid germs also spread through breathing. Therefore, it may also spread to other destinations where passengers on air services pass through. Therefore caution is necessary.
Along with this, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said that Covid-19 is a big disease with which we will have to learn to live. Because every year one or two waves of Covid will keep coming.
