The main content of this report:

2. One new death was reported yesterday, and the case fatality rate this time remained at 0.055%
3 , ICU The number of severe cases dropped to 9, and the ICU ward occupancy rate was 2.6%
4. The number of oxygen-receiving patients increased significantly to 39, and the number of ordinary patients increased to 234
As expected
Local cases in Singapore stopped falling and rebounded
April 23 Singapore's Ministry of Health reported that the seven-day moving growth rate of local cases rose to 1.04 from 0.93 the previous day, rising for seven consecutive days and breaking 1.0 for the first time since March 1. The seven-day moving average growth rate of
is 1.04, which means that there were 100 cases in seven days in the previous stage and 104 cases in seven days in this stage.
As early as April 6, "Singapore Eye" published an article judging that this wave will likely bottom out and rebound.
In subsequent reports, "Singapore Eye" judged that the case growth rate will gradually rebound towards 1.0, at least stop falling and return to level, and more likely stop falling and rebound.
The number of confirmed cases has stopped falling and rebounded, which is completely expected. The main reason why
made this judgment is that Singapore has been gradually opening up since late March and many normal activities have resumed.
For example, from March 21, student activities with more than 1,000 people, including interschool sports meets and various competitions, will be resumed; from March 29, dine-in meals for ten people and large-scale events and banquets will be resumed; from April 19, KTV will be opened , discos, nightclubs.
By the day after tomorrow (April 26), Singapore will lift most of its current restrictions, except for basic protection such as wearing masks indoors.
has to say that it took until April 23 to stop falling and rebound, which is already considered slow. Originally, we forecast a rebound in mid-April.
The Ministry of Health of Singapore has pointed out many times that only positive ART antigen tests taken at designated testing centers will be included in the statistics; a large number of positive self-test cases are not included in the confirmed cases. The number of infected people in is actually higher than . Therefore, the confirmed data cannot be Reflect the comprehensive epidemic situation. What the authorities consider when formulating policies is not the number of infections, but serious illness and death, and whether there is a risk of overcrowding of medical resources.
The growth of cases is not the key. The key is to prevent the shortage of medical resources and maintain the balance between economy and health, people's livelihood and life.
Hungarian poet Petofi said: Life is precious, love is more valuable; if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away!
Some people also say: Life is precious, freedom is even more valuable; if it is for dignity, both can be thrown away!
Another classic figure once said: Freedom is precious, but face is more valuable; if it is for life, both can be thrown away!
Singapore’s Epidemic Review on April 23
Singapore’s Ministry of Health reported that as of 1200 noon on April 23, there were 2,709 new confirmed cases, including 2,630 local cases and 79 imported cases, bringing the total to 1,180,124 cases, exceeding 1,180,000 rise.
Among the new local cases, there were 2,627 cases in local communities and 3 cases in foreign worker dormitories.
There were 84,284 cases in guest worker dormitories, with a positivity rate of 26.09%; there were 1,064,006 cases in the local community, with a positivity rate of 19.77%; the overall positivity rate was 20.69%.
In the past 28 days, there have been a total of 113,530 confirmed cases in Singapore, of which 99.7% were asymptomatic/mild cases, 0.2% required ordinary oxygen infusion, 0.03% were severe in ICU, and 0.04% died.
Among yesterday’s newly confirmed cases, 342 (11%) had positive PCR nucleic acid tests and 2,682 (90%) had positive ART antigen tests.
Considering that many positive ART antigen self-tests are not reported, the overall positive rate of is definitely higher than that of . The higher the positive rate, the closer it is to herd immunity . There was one new death case yesterday It was an elderly man in his sixties
The Ministry of Health reported one new death case last night, bringing the total to 1,325. The overall case fatality rate remained at 0.112%, the same as the previous day.
The new death case reported yesterday was a 60-year-old man who died of illness on April 23.
Singapore's recent daily death toll and age distribution are as follows:
By type of virus strain, Singapore has experienced the original wave of the virus, last year it entered the Delta wave, and now it is the Omicron wave."Singapore Eye" takes January 6 as the start of the Omike Rong wave, and analyzes the case fatality rates of these three waves as follows:
The above is the "Singapore Eye" roughly dividing the three periods according to the time when each wave of the epidemic appeared. The case fatality rate of this wave of epidemic remained at 0.055%, the same as the previous day.
The above-mentioned Omic Rongbo is only a rough classification of the "Singapore Eye". Some of the death cases were infected with the Delta strain, but the time of death occurred during the Omicron Rongbo period, so we still include it in the Omic Rongbo statistics. .
As of yesterday, Singapore’s population vaccination coverage and yesterday’s vaccination status of patients at all levels are as follows:
The number of severe patients in the ICU dropped to 9
There were 9 people in the ICU, 1 less than the previous day; the ICU ward occupancy rate was 2.6% .
According to the condition, 2 people were under oxygen infusion observation in the ICU (-1), and 7 people in critical condition were intubated (=); the numbers in brackets are the comparison between today and yesterday.
According to age, 4 people were in their 70s or above (+1), 4 people were in their 60s (-1), and 1 person was middle-aged between 40 and 59 years old (-1).
The number of general oxygen-receiving patients increased greatly to 39. The number of general in-patient patients increased to 234.
The number of general oxygen-receiving patients was 39, an increase of 15 from the previous day.
Ordinary oxygen-receiving patients use ordinary isolation wards and mask-type ventilators, which are non-invasive, do not require the establishment of artificial airways, and do not require intubation.
There are 234 ordinary patients in the isolation ward, an increase of 23 from the previous day.
0.8% of patients with Delta infection required oxygen infusion, and less than 0.3% of patients with Omicron infection required oxygen infusion.
79 overseas imported cases
There were 79 overseas imported cases yesterday, bringing the total to 31,834.
If there is no mutant virus with faster transmissibility, it is believed that in the next six months, imported cases from abroad will fluctuate between one and two hundred cases per day.
