*Testing is critical*
- MOH now can conduct >8k tests daily, up from 2.9k in early April
- So far, SG has tested 2.1k per 100k persons (Compared to the US: 1.6k per 100k; UK: 1k per 100k)
- This is why SG is picking up more cases than other countries

*Testing of migrant workers*
- MOH tests 3k workers daily (many with no symptoms)
- To date, >21k tested or 1 in 15

*More tests to protect vulnerable groups*
- E.g. Staff at nursing homes, healthcare workers, frontline officers
- Testing to ensure continuity of critical functions and services

*But testing alone cannot replace other important measures like safe distancing*
- The health of all depends on each one of us

bro avg number of testing is one thing, but shouldnt use it to mislead others. the total number of testing for singapore is behind many countries

to add on: those countries test their people massively.... our... no they test FW massively... wait till they test on citizen on both virus n immunity... than u get an answer

Hua Hee tio ho. Ah Lau got not much to live for. As long as his lan jiao can stand, he knows he's still alive

Sad to say in the States quite badly hit. The poor could hardly get testing. Some just die while queuing just to get testing done. My friend who's a doctor had a friend doctor in NY told him is really bad there, think recently a head doctor of some hospital there commit suicide cause of the stress level.....What's sad is those dead while queuing for testing.

Hard to compare sg with states. Interm of resources and no. of people and size. Is funny to even compare this both. I believe rural area in US gonna hit hard....With lack of medical system, no matter just be happy we still have a hospital nearby if we are sick.

Go and do the maths.... 300K FWs in quarantine and MOH can only test 3K per day.... like that how to have CB lifted?

I would not want CB t be extended again. Important is local transmission no more. If you think calculation is wrong i would suggest you to write to them or tell them.

NY how jialat i dont know, i am not there and i wont tell u i heard frm who and so becos what i heard is a total diff story. but 1 thing for sure is they really have massive testing, as massive as they can. to date they already 5mil plus of testing and its within an hour u get the result.

whereby our sunny island.... i am not happy with how they deal with it from start till now. and who say local transmission no more? u havent even test the population yet.....

5 million test from a population of 328 million isn’t enough, and they’ve had a farking comedy of errors - from CDC manufacturing bad test kits to relaxing their regulations to rush test kits to market and ending up with inaccurate antibody test kits that are producing false positives.

u still dont get it do u? i alrdy said, hw jialat over there, i dont know nor i will use a 3rd person comment. how good is the test kit, i dont know i didnt use it. do u? what i am trying to tell here is use your critical thinking n think, which u have to get all sources of info n judge, base on their bias n income source. to make your own judgement.

this is what singapore didnt teach our people, critical thinking. and its the most effective weapon and asset

Tuesday, 28.4.2020, MID 14951 on standby with 528 new cases. Fairprice Supermarkets started zapping our NRIC for contact tracing, just in case, touch wood. We can also scan their QR code to declare our health status. Today got merdeka and pioneer generation customers because got 3% discount. After watching Channel 8 at 7.30pm, the White Duel, starring David Chiang, lucky not happening here. Just saw CNA report say 55 yo PRC woman Jin Yin kena charged for providing massage & masturbating a 67 yo man at Blk 34 Upper Cross Street while circuit breaker is on. She has similar charges in the past. Stay home. Be safe.

they probably working on the premise that there will be mass infection among the workers and majority may only have light symptoms and recover on their own while awaiting testing or maybe even not tested....they will then divert resources to tackle serious cases..
