  1. Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, along with Jurong Fishery Port and Khoi Grill and Hotpot at Jalan Besar will be closed for two weeks from Saturday (July 17) after new clusters were found. In a statement on Friday (July 16) night, the Ministry of Health (MOH) stated that seven cases were linked to the market and port which formed one cluster. Another seven cases were linked to a new cluster found at Khoi Grill and Hotpot, an eatery located at 283 Jalan Besar. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. Hong Lim Market and Food Centre and Jurong Fishery Port will be closed until July 31, while Khoi Grill and Hotpot will be closed till July 30, for deep-cleaning and disinfection. Earlier, Lianhe Zaobao had reported that several stalls at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre were ordered to close on Friday, after a hawker, believed to be working at a drinks stall, was found to have contracted Covid-19. Other stalls, however, were still open when the reporter visited the food centre in the afternoon. Said the owner of a vegetarian stall when interviewed: "It's tough being a hawker, once there's a confirmed case we'll be asked to close. There's no income but we still have to pay rent." Free Covid-19 swab tests will be available to members of the public who visited the market and food centre between July 2 and Friday. More details are available on MOH's website. Mandatory Covid-19 testing will also be conducted for all who visited Jurong Fishery Port between July 3 and Friday. There were 53 cases of new local coronavirus cases as of Friday noon, including 32 cases linked to the cluster from KTV outlets and nightclubs. The total number of cases in the KTV cluster now stands at 120. With eight imported cases, there were a total of 61 Covid-19 cases yesterday. Two among the eight were detected upon arrival in Singapore, said MOH. The remaining six developed the illness during stay-home notice or isolation. The number of new cases in the community has increased from 21 cases in the week before to 179 cases in the past week. The number of unlinked cases in the community has also increased from nine cases in the week before to 20 cases in the past week. According to MOH, there are currently 27 active clusters, ranging between three and 120 infections. 184 patients are currently in hospital for the infection, with one person in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU), while seven require oxygen supplementation. 4-ring approach to contain spread of Covid-19 from KTV cluster The KTV cluster is currently the largest active cluster at 120 cases, just three days after it was reported on Tuesday. On Friday, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said that MOH will be taking a four-ring approach to contain the spread of Covid-19 in the light of the growing KTV cluster. This includes placing staff and patrons detected through Safe Entry and TraceTogether on quarantine. So far, 2,480 of these individuals have been placed under quarantine. The second ring involves other staff and patrons not detected but were asked to come forward for testing. Ong stated that 1,660 indivduals have come forward for testing, of which 25 tested positive. The third ring involves other members of the public found to be in contact with those who have tested positive for the virus, picked up via TraceTogether. A "health risk warning" will be sent to these members of the public, where they would be required to get tested and self-isolate for 14 days, and go through another PCR test. For the final ring, a "health risk alert" will be sent to those who have visited the locations where the affected KTV joints are located. They will not have to go through mandatory Covid-19 testing, but will be "strongly advised" to monitor their health and minimise interactions, said Ong. Self-testing for this group is also encouraged.

  9. just follow the original Coca-Cola recipes which have cocaine
  10. Coca-Cola changed the flavor of its soda in 1985 and enraged a nation. Now, the company is doing it again, risking another outcry. This time, it is changing the taste and look of one of its most popular soft drinks: Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, better known as Coke Zero, the diet spinoff that is supposed to closely resemble the sugary version of “classic” Coke. Company officials said on Tuesday that the plan was to change the drink in such a way that it would “deliver an even more iconic Coke taste.” Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times Anxious Americans, or at least the ones who regularly quaff Coke Zero, will be the judge. Already, on social media, worry and apprehension greeted the impending change. Some consumers vowed to switch to other drinks, like Diet Dr Pepper, or threatened to turn to the drink of Coca-Cola’s archrival, Pepsi. Others recalled the marketing debacle of 1985, when Coca-Cola unveiled “The New Coke,” a sweeter version of the original soft drink that was rejected by many consumers. A Detroit waitress told The New York Times that year that the soda was “flat and too sweet.” A writer in Florida called it “a taste tragedy.” A spokesman for Pepsi-Cola declared it “a tremendous opportunity for us.” That change was an attempt to beat back the growing success of Pepsi, which was beginning to cut into Coca-Cola’s market share. But consumers hated the New Coke. In June 1985, the company was getting 1,500 calls a day on its consumer hotline. “People seemed to hold any Coca-Cola employee — from security officers at our headquarters building to their neighbors who worked for Coke — personally responsible for the change,” according to a detailed account of the fiasco on the company’s website, which describes the episode as one of the “most memorable marketing blunders ever.” The flavor change so angered people that an episode of the sitcom “The Golden Girls” referred to the fury in a joke, consumers stockpiled cans of the original, and at least one lawsuit tried to make Coca-Cola return to its original formula. (A federal judge rejected the suit, mentioning that he preferred Pepsi.) In July 1985, after only three months, the company announced that it would restore the original Coca-Cola, now rebranded as “Coca-Cola Classic,” to store shelves. “If that is what the consumer wants, that is what we will give him,” Charles Millard, chairman of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of New York, said after the about-face. This time around, the change is not likely to cause the same sort of backlash, despite some of the early grumbling, said Doug Bowman, professor of marketing at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. “This is a strategy where Coke is trying to stay ahead of the market,” he said. In general, consumers have grown used to beverage companies changing and adapting popular drinks. Bowman noted that in the nearly 40 years since the New Coke kerfuffle, vodka companies have introduced vanilla, lime and peach flavors; popular beer brands have experimented with myriad tastes; and both Coke and Pepsi have dabbled in fruit varieties. Coca-Cola even made a limited supply of “New Coke” available in 2019 as part of a promotion related to “Stranger Things,” the supernatural thriller set in the 1980s. The advertised changes in the new Coke Zero are subtle by comparison, he said. “It is hard to see anyone except the most die-hard Coke Zero Sugar people noticing the difference,” said Bowman, who from 2002 to 2004 taught courses at Emory to Coca-Cola employees through a program paid for by the company. Natalia Suarez, a senior brand manager at Coca-Cola, said in a statement that the company had tinkered with the soda recipe before. “The consumer landscape is always changing, which means we must evolve to stay ahead,” she said. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, which the company released in 2005, has had its flavor changed before. In 2017, the company said the product was “reformulated” so that it would taste more like standard Coca-Cola. In its statement, the company said the new change “optimizes existing Coca-Cola Zero Sugar flavors and existing ingredients.” Though the company did not say what that process would look like, it promised on social media that it would not change the ingredients, which include carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, aspartame, caffeine and potassium benzoate.

  15. SINGAPORE - Unvaccinated people here will be allowed to dine out only alone or in pairs from Monday (July 19) to Aug 8, but fully vaccinated people will be able to continue to dine out in groups of five. However, unvaccinated individuals with a valid negative pre-event test (PET) result may join such groups of five, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday (July 16). People who have recovered from Covid-19 are also deemed to be at lower risk and can dine out in groups of up to five as well, said the ministry. The rollback of dine-in measures at eateries here, currently at five people for all, comes after the emergence of new Covid-19 clusters that have set back Singapore's efforts to combat the virus, said MOH. The ministry said in a statement that fully vaccinated individuals will be able to continue to dine out in groups of up to five at food and beverage establishments that have put in place systems to check the status of such individuals. This is because fully vaccinated individuals have good protection against infection and severe illness, and are less likely to infect others, compared with unvaccinated individuals, it added. An individual is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after he has received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty or Moderna vaccine, said MOH. During a virtual press conference on Friday, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said that this allowance for five vaccinated people to dine together will only be for establishments with mandatory SafeEntry systems in place. This is so that these venues can check the vaccination status of their customers, said Mr Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19. Members of the same household will be allowed to dine out with their unvaccinated children aged 12 or below, without the need for pre-event testing for these children, but MOH said that this whole group should not exceed five people. "If the children are not from the same household, then they should constitute not more than half the dine-in group," said MOH. The ministry added that children below 12 are currently ineligible for Covid-19 jabs in Singapore's national vaccination programme, and it is also more challenging to swab these young children for PET. Food and beverage establishments have the flexibility to decide whether to introduce the vaccination-differentiated group sizes, depending on their own operating model and clientele, and their ability to check the status of dining-in individuals, said the ministry. But group sizes will be limited to two people for hawker centres, foodcourts and coffee shops. This is because these venues have a "more porous setting" and generally do not impose mandatory SafeEntry check-ins, said MOH. It noted that it would be very challenging to check the status of individuals before they seat themselves at a table. Group sizes will be limited to two people for coffee shops, hawker centres and foodcourts. ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI Entertainment such as live performances, recorded music and video or television screenings will continue to be prohibited at food and beverage establishments. MOH said that this is because dining in remains a high-risk activity as many people will be unmasked and in close proximity with one another. "Patrons at food and beverage establishments are also reminded to adhere to all safe management measures and keep their masks on at all times except when eating or drinking," said MOH.
