Health Minister Mr Ong Ye Kung has said on Thursday (19 Aug) that the government’s decision to go back to Phase Two Heightened Alert (P2HA) on 22 July has in fact saved many lives.
He also said that if we did not go back to P2HA when the Jurong Fishery Port cluster came out, the death toll would have been much more.
He has acknowledged public sentiments and fears about the recent amount of deaths due to Covid-19 complications.
There has been nine out of 46 Covid-19 deaths in Singapore in August alone.
Minister Ong also mentioned that the death toll was what the task force was concerned about when the Jurong Fishery Port cluster broke out, especially when many unvaccinated seniors are amongst those numbers.
He added that even though those that has unfortunately passed on due to the complications carried highly transmissible Delta variants, the number of patients in ICU has been declining steadily.
There were 19 such admissions in the past three weeks, and Minister Ong hopes this number will remain low as more people receive their vaccinations.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) has also showed evidence that vaccination significantly reduces the need for intensive care or oxygen.
Nine percent non-vaccinated personnel who are infected required intensive care and oxygen and one percent of them passed on compared to 1.3 percent of vaccinated personnel required intensive care and oxygen and 0.1 of them passed on.
MOH also added that since the P2HA came into force in July 22, the number of cases has steadily declined which allowed the Government to finally ease more rules on August 10.
As of Tuesday (17 August), the case count has halved to about 63 a day compared to 123 weeks ago and isolated numbers have remained stable at half of the total cases detected.
Unliked cases have also remained stable at a quarter of the total reported cases.

A netizen contacted Singapore Uncensored saying that he almost vomited in the MRT. He was travelling from Sembawang to Ang Mo Kio and he managed to get a seat.
Just now I going to AMK from Sembawang, I thinking today lucky got a seat. Then got one man standing in front of me with his backside facing me.
Suddenly he farted none stop and it sounded quite wet. Nabei in my face sia.
The moment he farted loudly everyone staring at him, he had one palm covering his backside and his face was like 1CM away from the door, the moment the door opened he dashed out like a cheetah.
He ran out of Yishun MRT but got some stain on his pants.
I almost vomited, I can almost taste it in my mouth sia. I wish people that are unwell can just stay at home.
A netizen who wishes to remain anonymous has recently gave us her feedback on how environmental unfriendly a certain bubble tea chain is.
“I love drinking bubble tea from “so and so” and I always find it a waste of resources and damaging to the earth every time they pour my order into a plastic cup.
Hence, I bought a reusable water tumbler from Shopee to play my part in being environmentally conscious.
However to my dismay, when I recently ordered from “so and so” and asked them to pour the drink into my water tumbler instead of a plastic cup, they rejected me and told me that they are unable to do so.
Mind you, I did not ask them to fill my tumbler to the brim but told them to prepare according to my order and then just transfer it into my tumbler.
I asked the staff behind the counter as to why they are unable to do so and explained my intentions of trying to save the earth by being eco-friendly but she just said that they do not do so and it is not within their standard operating procedures (SOP).
After she poured it into the plastic cup, I asked her if she could now help me to transfer the drink to my tumbler, she did not reject me and proceeded to do so.
To me it has became pointless as she has just wasted a plastic cup and it defeats the purpose of me being eco-friendly.
I have tried this with Starbucks before and they always allow me to do so and even offered a discount for bringing your own tumblr.
I am not asking for any discount by doing the same with “so and so”, so I really don’t get it as to why they are so inflexible.
I hope that they can review their SOP on this to be more environmental conscious.”

A netizen shared how a crazy uncle was taking videos of him inside the MRT.
He told him to pull up his mask, but his mask was already being worn properly at the nose area.
The uncle then started filming him secretly.
Here is the story:
“I was sitting at the reserved seat suddenly, this guy told me to pull my mask up but my mask was exactly at the nose area. So I said to him, “you can move to the other seat if you think I’m not wearing a mask”.
When he moved, I realise he was putting his phone up, recording me. Please be aware of this f***** in public.”
