SINGAPORE - Many hospitals in Singapore have begun swabbing all staff to detect Covid-19 cases, if any, as early as possible.
At the same time, patient-facing staff, particularly those who work in emergency departments and wards, will continue to be tested regularly as part of a nationwide initiative for all hospitals.
This follows the emergence of a Covid-19 cluster at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), which has since grown to be the country s largest active cluster, with 43 cases currently.
The cluster has been linked to a new variant of the coronavirus first identified in India, which is now in the grip of a devastating second wave of the disease.
