According to a statement from the Ministry of Health, in addition to the Wing Fong Court apartment located in Lorong 14 of Geylang, the newly infected group also includes three locations less than 200 metres apart at Tuas View Plaza. In addition, local infectious disease experts said that SARS-CoV-2 is very smart and can always find blind spots in humans. It is not a simple virus to deal with.
Eight new 2019 covid infection groups appeared in Singapore on 22 April 2020, which is a new high so far, including an apartment. Local infectious disease experts believe that SARS-CoV-2 is a very "smart" virus, and it can always find blind spots in humans and then spread among the crowd.
According to a notice issued by the Ministry of Health on 22 April 2020, the new infections are from eight infection clusters at Wing Fong Court (5 cases), 10 Kranji Link Road (11 cases), 32 Tuas View Square (29 cases), 36 Tuas View Square (22 cases), 40 Tuas View Square (6 cases), 61 Senoko Drive (14 cases), 8 Sungei Kadut Road (23 cases) and 18 Sungei Kadut Road (47 cases). In short, there are 157 new cases of cluster infections on 22 April in Singapore.
The Wing Fong Court sought a collective sale in January 2020. Related to this group of infections were five cases announced earlier. The three infection groups in Tuas View Square are less than 200 metres apart. In addition, S11 Punggol guest dormitory cases, the largest local infection group, has increased by 71 cases to 2,211.
Of the 1016 new cases added yesterday, 73 per cent are related to known infections, while others are subject to further investigation. The government passed the electronic gazette yesterday to list Homestay Lodge and Changi Lodge, which had previously appeared infected groups, as quarantine areas. There are currently 21 guest quarters in the local area classified as quarantine areas.
Professor Dale Fisher, senior consultant doctor in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the National University Hospital of Singapore, said in an interview on The Straits Times online program, "SARS-CoV-2 is very smart, and it can find our blind spots, vulnerable groups, and places that can infect a lot of people. Like a nursing home, even if you actively take protective measures, the virus can still take advantage of it, as is the guest dormitory. "
Community cases have fallen more slowly than expected, indicating that the virus has infiltrated.
Professor Liang Yuxin, director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases, said in an interview on the same program that the virus will find a way to spread it. It is not a simple and easy-to-handle virus that can spread without people realizing it.
There are 17 community new cases on 22 April 2020, the smallest day since the circuit breaker measures were implemented on 7 April 2020.
Another expert, Zhang Yiying, Dean of the Surifu School of Public Health, National University of Singapore, pointed out that although the number of infections in the local community has decreased, the decline is slower than expected. "This shows that there are cases of infiltration into the community. It may be some people who should stay at home chose to go out without adequate protection, or employees who need to work outside home. In the past few days, we have seen that some employees in essential services have been infected. Therefore, we have to tighten the scope of necessary services. "
As of noon yesterday, 4,234 cases were still being treated in the hospital, of which 25 were in the intensive care unit, a reduction of two. In a single day, 57 people have been discharged from hospital or left community isolation facilities, bringing the cumulative number of recovered to 896.
In addition, 4,999 patients who were in good condition but still tested positive were transferred to community isolation facilities. The death toll on 22 April 2020 stands at 12.
