Second-degree confirmed cases have increased significantly
Yesterday, the number of new crown cases in Singapore rebounded to more than 10,000, and the number of re-confirmed cases increased significantly. The number of new coronavirus cases diagnosed again after recovery has increased significantly, and more people have chosen to conduct remote consultations.
At present, there are more and more cases of BA.4 and BA.5 strains in Singapore, and it is expected to increase in the future, but this wave of epidemic is not expected to be more serious than the outbreak in February this year.
In the past two weeks, patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 for the second time in the clinic have an upward trend, and four of them have been diagnosed with third time, including young people under the age of 30, students who have just returned to China, and children.
The symptoms of patients who were re-confirmed are mild or asymptomatic than the last time they were diagnosed. For example, a pair of five-year-old twin brothers were first diagnosed in early March this year. When they were diagnosed twice this week, they only had a mild fever and sore throat. Just take medicine and rest.
According to data from the past two years, now is just the beginning of a new wave of epidemics, and it usually takes two weeks to reach its peak.
The oral COVID-19 drugs currently allowed in Singapore can effectively alleviate symptoms, and the risk of severe illness is relatively low, so there is no need to panic about the rise in confirmed cases. There are currently more prevention and treatment methods to deal with the new coronavirus. Instead of locking down again, if you can pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain a safe distance, and wear a mask, you can also prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
There are two oral COVID-19 drugs authorized to be used in Singapore, namely Paxlovid of Pfizer, and Molnupiravir produced by Merck Pharmaceutical Factory and sold under the name "LAGEVRIO".

The first news related to the new crown was released after three months
The WhatsApp group of the Singapore government website Gov.sg issued the new crown news for the first time after three months, calling on the elderly to get the new crown vaccine additives.
Newsletter calls on elderly people over 60 to receive the first dose of additives immediately, and encourage elderly people over 80 and higher-risk patients to receive the second dose if they have received the first dose of additives.
htmlAs aged 150 to 79, you can choose to inoculate the second dose of additives to strengthen protection.
At the same time, Minister of Health Wang Yikang posted a message on social networking website Facebook to answer questions about additives. He said it is very important to get the COVID-19 additive or the third messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA vaccine. This is because with the variant of the virus, people need three vaccines to be better protected, and even if they are infected, they can reduce the risk of severe illness.
People who have been infected with the new coronavirus also need to receive an additional agent. This is because the immune responses produced by each person are different, and it is best to be vaccinated after 90 days of infection, which will be better.
50 to 79 people aged 150 to 79 are still very protective within nine months after receiving the first dose of the additive, so the authorities did not strongly recommend them to receive the second dose, but they have the option to do so.
Wang Yikang also reiterated that all approved additive vaccines are very effective, so people do not need to deliberately choose different brands of vaccines.

The first dose of the additive is still very protective within nine months
Should Singaporeans be vaccinated with the second COVID-19 vaccine additive? Health Minister Wang Yikang said that there is no strong suggestion for people to do this at present, because the first dose of the additive is still very protective after avoiding people getting severe illness or hospitalization after being infected with the disease.
He said that as the new crown strain mutations, people need to inject new crown vaccine additives or the third messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine to better protect themselves, avoid infection and reduce the risk of severe illness.
Infection cannot replace the protection provided by the vaccine, and not everyone will have an immune response after the infection. Therefore, patients who have been infected with the new coronavirus should be given an additive after 90 days of infection, which has the best effect. If you want to get the injection as soon as possible, you must at least 28 days after the infection.
Singapore currently offers the option to allow groups aged 50, 60 and 70 to voluntarily inject a second dose of additives. Data shows that this group will not suffer from severe illness and do not need hospitalization within nine months after receiving the first dose of additives. This is why the government did not strongly recommend people in this group to get a second additive, but instead provides this option to those who are interested in doing so.
All approved vaccine brands can be used as additives without any deliberate choice. If you have concerns about the messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine, you can consider changing to the Novavax vaccine.
