SINGAPORE - The past week has delivered a Covid-19 shocker to Singapore, not just because of the increase in community cases - there were 10 - but also the infections in people who had been vaccinated or who had been previously infected. The Ministry of Health (MOH) said last Thursday (April 22) that 17 workers residing in Westlite Woodlands dormitory who had recovered from Covid-19 infections were found to be infected again. Others are now being tested. The following day, the MOH announced that an Indonesian seaman who had received his first vaccine dose tested positive. Last Saturday, two more seamen who had received their first dose of vaccine were also found to be infected.
The Straits Times answers some questions surrounding mutations and variants that were raised in our monthly webinar a week ago. The webinar, Season Two of Covid-19: Updates From Singapore, brought together local and international experts to discuss the latest medical and scientific findings regarding the coronavirus. Q: What is a mutation? A: A mutation is a change that occurs in the genetic material. Mutations arise when the genetic material is not copied precisely as the virus replicates during cell division. Q: What is a double mutant? A: It is true that the B1617 has two spike protein mutations, namely E484Q and L452R, but in reality, B1617 contains a total of 13 spike protein mutations. The name "double mutant" is just a name to refer to those two mutations and does not mean anything scientifically.

0 Engagements Covid-19 vaccines protect people from the symptoms and more severe forms of the disease but are not designed to fully prevent them from being infected, experts said yesterday following the case of a migrant worker who tested positive despite having both doses. They said inoculation was vital because although those who have had the jabs could still catch the virus, they were much less likely to get seriously ill than unvaccinated patients.
SINGAPORE - Covid-19 vaccines protect people from the symptoms and more severe forms of the disease but are not designed to fully prevent them from being infected, experts said on Monday (April 12), following the case of a migrant worker who tested positive despite having both doses. They said inoculation was vital because although those who have had the jabs may still catch the virus, they are much less likely to get seriously ill than unvaccinated patients. The migrant worker, who was reported on Sunday to have tested positive, received his first dose on Jan 25 and his second on Feb 15, the Health Ministry said.

SINGAPORE - People here have been socialising less and working more since the circuit breaker last year, a survey has found. It noted that 61 per cent of the 1,000 respondents said they now socialise less frequently with those outside their immediate family than before the restrictions were put in place in April last year. Forty-four per cent also reported that their social circles outside of their immediate family had shrunk over the past year. And while 20 per cent said they socialise with their immediate family more frequently nowadays, 23 per cent said they do so less frequently. The online poll of residents aged 16 and over, which was commissioned by The Straits Times, noted that 27 per cent reported growing closer to their family, while 7 per cent said they were no longer as close.

My mother, who is Chinese and 97 years old, has been busy planning ways to circumvent these measures. On the other hand, I have been busy trying to ensure that her plans don't pan out.
