120 new COVID cases in Singapore

[The_King]

SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Wednesday (25 August) confirmed 120 new COVID-19 cases in Singapore, taking the country's total case count to 66,812.

Of them, 118 are locally transmitted infections including 26 linked to the cluster at North Coast Lodge dormitory, which now has 112 cases.

Of the remaining 92 local cases, 29 are unlinked infections. Among them are two patients above the age of 70 who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, and are at risk of serious illness, the ministry added.

There are two imported cases, one of whom was detected upon their arrival in Singapore, while one developed symptoms during their stay-home notice or isolation period.

The ministry on Tuesday said that it is investigating the 20 cases among those who work in Bugis Junction, which is now a COVID-19 active cluster.

Staff members who have been working in affected shops at the shopping centre will be tested, and close contacts of confirmed cases will be quarantined, it added, without identifying the affected shops.

Free COVID-19 testing will also be extended to those who had visited the retail shops or used the services or facilities at Bugis Junction between 17 and 24 August.

Those who had only walked through the mall to connect to neighbouring buildings or Bugis MRT station need not be tested, it said.

This story will be updated later.

20 require oxygen supplementation; 7 in ICU

At least 65,772 cases in Singapore, or over 99 per cent of the overall total, have fully recovered from their infection and have been discharged from the hospital.

As of Tuesday, 339 cases are currently warded, most of whom are well and under observation.

There are currently 20 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation and seven in critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Of those who have fallen very ill, 23 are patients above the age of 60, of whom 19 are completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, said the MOH.

Apart from the 50 patients who have died from COVID-19 complications, 15 others who tested positive for the virus were determined to have died from unrelated causes, including three whose deaths were attributed to a heart attack and another four whose deaths were attributed to coronary heart disease.

Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 8.7 per cent, while that for the fully vaccinated is 1.6 per cent, the ministry noted.

As of Monday, about 8.61 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered under the national vaccination programme. Some 4.48 million have received at least one dose of the vaccine, with some 4.25 million having completed the full vaccination regimen.

Separately, 160,649 doses of other vaccines recognised in the World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) have been administered as of Monday, covering 85,114 individuals.

This means that 78 per cent of the population have completed their full regimen, or received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 82 per cent have received at least one dose.

u look at the way how moh present the figures r alrdy very confusing and incomplete.

 

19 completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated dont tell me how many r completely unvaxed. a more meaningful statistic to show how sakti the vaccines r is to disclose how many completely unvaxed r in the 23 patients over 60 yo.

 

second set of confusing figure is telling me those either severely ill or uplorry is 8.7% unvaxxed vs 1.6% fully vaxxed.

 

at first glance, this ratio of 5:1 is impressive, but is this ratio still valid after controlling for age and health?

 

it is highly possible that the higher death and severe illness in those unvaxed recorded could be due to other pre-existing condition and overall poorer health.

 

even the health minister ong said that there r thousands of deaths from heart attacks in singapore every year.

 

note that moh also stated that 15 wuhan-19 positive uplorry from other caused unrelated to wuhan-19 apart from the other 50 who uplorry due to wuhan-19. 15 out of 65 is a substantial statistical significance that will move this ratio.

 

moh shld actually be carrying out in-depth statistical analysis rather than just presenting raw dataset.
