[FULL] Singapore marks major milestone in Covid-19 fight

Watch the full address on Friday (April 22) by Singapore's multi-ministry task force on Covid-19.

In a series of sweeping changes and the strongest push yet for a return to normal, from next Tuesday, individuals will no longer be required to keep to a group of 10 persons for mask-off activities, while the use of SafeEntry and TraceTogether will cease at most venues.

Safe distancing will also no longer be required between individuals or between groups.

All workers may now also return to the workplace from next Tuesday, up from the current limit of 75 per cent of those who can work from home.

Workers will also be allowed to remove their masks at the workplace when they are not interacting physically with others and when they are not in customer-facing areas. Masks are still required indoors outside of work settings.

Has SG clearly has a set of clear and defined SOPs to instruct GP/ Govt hosp/ Polyclinics on what and how to report suspected illness or outbreak of diseases after mRNA vaccines? Or does SG only stop at monitoring 1 week or 1 month? (W/e the timeline)
Are these SOPs too lax? Too short period to monitor? Too small a frame? (i.e. only when the person is dying then only counted)

These effects MUST be monitored for SG population general health! It's been 1year + since most of the population got mRNAs. Sufficient data IF we can get data transparency from our govt. we can certainly stratify the data ourselves.

GPs, govt docts are all robots in following die hard regulations, law by law. Red markers = prescribe meds.
Always dismiss patients concerns easily and doesn't put in effort to look at individuals health holistically. Even if we suspect something is due to the vaccine, it would be dismissed. The healthcare system is flawed.
i.e. health markers might be red and it could be triggered because of other reasons (i.e. thyroid, gut relation, metal toxicity, vitamin deficiency) but they used synthetic patented meds to suppress the symptom which might make things even worse - which is often the case!

Govt should have foresight to study correlation btwn MRNA VACC RATES (dose 1/ dose 1+2/ booster) VS mortality per year/ registered diagnoses per year/ illness incident per year!

This should be priority before insisting on booster shots this Feb 2022.

Heathy individuals after getting their mRNA shots, number of real life people within my knowledge span are getting diagnosed with liver problems/ illnesses/ cancers/ shingle outbreaks.
(Few days/ weeks/ months after mRNA shots) what does that tell me?

Deep dive people, deep dive.
I personally got primary series done cause I believed in our govt. But decided not to get booster aft thinking and reviewing the raw data out there.

For those interested:
Pfizer was ordered by court to release the "supposedly to be hidden for 75 years" pfizer docs of adverse events and stats. And had a black history of lost lawsuit case which they have been fined billions! DYODD! One life.

Since Omicron, how many among the critically ill patients are under 50 and healthy people?...
I think we all would like to know because instead of focusing on the people aged over 60/65 for vaccination, all the governments try to vaccinate the young and healthy population who is NOT vulnerable against the virus... ^^'

So... There is definitely a contradiction there and tvis is something that interests me a lot.

As for me, I am 32, I am not vaccinated because I'm young and healthy, but I recognize the individual benefit for the most vulnerable people (aged over 65, suffering from obesity, etc), I have never been tested because never been sick.
And... I can't wait to come back to Singapore because I love this country. But I can't as long as I don't accept to get vaccinated against something that will not bring me to hospital... ^^' I think this is going out of proportion.

What easing...what open?
Still have to wear mask get booster...if you say out of danger still have to do all

[vicpua]

Interesting, how come no one asks if the group size of dinners is also lifted?

[arcencielc]

Two years ago, we couldn't see this day coming... United we stand, divided we fall.
I would like to wear a mask outdoors cos 1) for protection and 2) it reduces pigmentation on my face. Haha. : )

[lousiaveerasamy]

What about receiving guests at home...still 10?

[bengillen]

Two years of lies yet ppl still believe them. 🤦‍♀️

While Shanghai is fighting covid with lockdowns and quarantine, Singapore is celebrating the end of the virus battle.

[TheSunPrince]

Easing & decreasing cases just show so called measures or not makes no difference

Great milestone indeed in ending this useless charade & the useless tt that makes no real difference either. The only difference made is taxpayers have to pay more for such expensive showy useless charades & parlour games.

[Karl-kdmc]

Naive, foolish or brave. We will soon know

[tuapuikia]

[MrCam]

whatever the outcome, PApa always win. 😂🤣

[anziar]

👍👍A very capable, reliable, and trustworthy s'pore govt.

[neoweemin]

As a small nation, remaining close will spell doom...open up while keep the mask on is the only way out and up....and not close in and drift down....

[JensenLoh]

Well done, MTF. Hope these achievements will shut those whiners!
