The main contents of this issue are:
1. The 7-day quarantine for Taiwan is changed to 3+4
2. Air passengers going to the United States no longer need a negative nucleic acid certificate
Singapore reported 1 new death yesterday, and the overall case fatality rate dropped to 0.104%
Fourth, the number of severely ill patients in the ICU has dropped to 2, and the number of patients treated has dropped to a new low in 11 months
V. The number of ordinary oxygen infusions increased to 26, and the number of ordinary hospitalized patients increased to 205
The 7-day quarantine for Taiwan was changed to 3+4
On June 11, Taiwan's local epidemic prevention authorities announced that from this Wednesday (June 15), the number of days of entry quarantine will be changed from the current 7 days to 3 days of home quarantine plus 4 days of independent epidemic prevention, which will apply to all passengers, not limited to business customers.
Chen Shizhong, head of epidemic prevention of the Taiwan authorities, stressed that this measure is based on the international and Taiwan local epidemic situation and the capacity of epidemic prevention and medical treatment, and promotes economic and social activities and necessary international exchanges.
Over the past two years and more, the Taiwan authorities have gradually shortened the number of days of quarantine at entry from 14 days to 10 days, then to 7 days, and more recently to 3+4.
At present, the number of weekly arrivals in Taiwan is between 18,000 and 20,000. In view of the fact that more people will enter the country due to the relaxation of quarantine at entry, the weekly entry limit has been raised to 250 million, while transit transit opportunities will be opened.
The new entry quarantine measures apply to all, not business customers. However, it is still not open to tourists.
Passengers must still present a negative nucleic acid certificate within two days before their trip, undergo a PCR nucleic acid test at the time of entry, an ART antigen test during the quarantine period, and an ART test when they go out for the first time during the period of independent epidemic prevention.
Air passengers to the United States do not need a negative nucleic acid certificate
Starting today (June 12), air passengers traveling to the U.S. will no longer need to attach a negative COVID-19 test certificate 24 hours before boarding.
Since December last year, cdc of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has required inbound airline travelers to provide a negative certificate 24 hours before departure.
Travel and aviation operators argue that the test requirements are "ridiculous" and are "undermining" leisure and business travel.
The CDC said that based on science and data, it was determined that there was no need to enforce the requirement of a 24-hour negative certificate before the trip. However, in order to prevent new variants from causing the outbreak to fight back, the CDC will review every 90 days whether this measure needs to be restarted. If you need to reinstate your pre-trip detection requirements, you will not hesitate to take action.
Singapore's confirmed growth rate has been below 1.0 for 14 consecutive days
Singapore's Ministry of Health reported that as of 1200 noon on June 11, there were 3,128 new confirmed cases, including 2,959 local cases and 169 imports from abroad, with a total of 1,338,753 cases, approaching 1.34 million.
The seven-day mobile growth rate of indigenous cases has remained below 1.0 for 14 consecutive days, rising to 0.93 from 0.91 the previous day, meaning 100 cases in the seven days of the previous phase and 93 cases in the seven days of the current phase.
"Singapore Eye" has repeatedly proposed that the growth rate fell below 1.0, and after stabilizing, it should rebound to 1.0; after that, it will fluctuate in a small range around 1.0.
The virus cannot be eradicated, and the ups and downs of the epidemic are very normal. The increase in cases following the opening was entirely expected. The key is to maintain the severe illness rate and mortality rate at a low level, the people are not alarmed, the mentality is peaceful, and the normal production, life and study order is maintained.
Yesterday, 1 new death was reported
Overall case fatality rate reduced to 0.104%
The Ministry of Health reported 1 new death last night, a total of 1397, and the overall case fatality rate fell to 0.104% from 0.105% the previous day.
The new deaths reported yesterday are additional cases of previous cases, and the elderly in their seventies or older died on 10 June. The distribution of recent deaths and age is as follows:
Divided by the type of strain, Singapore experienced the original virus wave, entering Delta Wave last year and now the Opicron Wave. The case fatality rate remained at 0.053 per cent, the same as the previous day.
The influenza case fatality rate in Singapore is around 0.1%.
The above-mentioned Opmi Kejung Wave is only a rough division of the Singapore Eye, and some of the deaths are infected with the Delta strain, but the time of death occurs during the Opmi Kejung Wave, so we still classify it as the Opmi Kejung wave statistics.
The vast majority of singapore's original virus wave infections were dormitory guest workers, who were young and strong, and died of illness and 2 people; Deltapo and Omikronpo mainly infect communities, and most of the deceased are elderly and frail in old age.
The number of severely ill ICU patients dropped to 2
Singapore yesterday there were 2 people in the ICU intensive care unit, 1 less than the previous day; The occupancy rate of ICU wards was 0.6%.
This is a new single-day low in the number of severely ill covid-19 patients in Singapore since 11 months on 28 July 2021.
Yesterday, the 2 people in the ICU were all in their 70s or above.
99.7% of patients were mild/asymptomatic
In the past 28 days, there have been a total of 95,000 confirmed cases in Singapore, of which 99.7% (95,055) are asymptomatic/mild, 0.2% (214) have needed/are in need of ordinary oxygen transfusion, 0.04% (36) have been/remain severely ill in the ICU, and 0.02% (21) have died.
92% of Singapore's population has been fully vaccinated, and 77% of the population has been vaccinated with boosters. People over the age of 50 and high-risk people are given a free second dose of mRNA booster injection.
The reinforcing needle is only open to people over 12 years old, and not to 5 to 11 years old; In addition, people who have recovered from covid-19 do not need to receive a booster injection for nine months. Therefore, there is definitely a gap between the population coverage rate of the enhanced needle and the basic needle coverage rate.
Positivity rate23.47%
The actual proportion is certainly higher
Among the new confirmed cases yesterday, 310 (10%) tested positive for PCR and 2818 (90%) tested positive for ART antigen.
Singapore does not do nucleic acid testing for all employees, but lets people do antigen ART self-testing on their own. Although less sensitive than nucleic acids, antigen detection is fast, low cost, and avoids the risk of collective testing, making it particularly suitable for use in cities where outbreaks have already occurred.
In addition to Singapore, many countries have also adopted this model. Some countries do neither FULL PCR nucleic acid testing nor ART antigen self-testing, such as Russia and North Korea. China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region originally also identified positive ART as a confirmed diagnosis, but later believed that the proportion of "false positives" was high, resulting in a false high number of confirmed data, so it was no longer confirmed by positive ART, but must be verified by PCR to be confirmed.
According to the data of the Ministry of Health, the positive rate in Singapore is 23.47%.
The Ministry of Health has repeatedly pointed out that considering that many ART antigen self-tests are not reported, the number of infections is actually higher, and the overall positive rate is definitely higher. Some experts have judged that the overall positive rate may have reached 60% to 80%.
The higher the positive rate and the closer it is to herd immunity, the virus will still spread, but the rate will slow down, severe illness and death will decrease. The authorities formulate policies that do not consider the number of infections, but severe illness and death, and open up as wide a range as possible as soon as possible without the risk of a run on medical resources.
The number of ordinary oxygen transfusion patients increased to 26
The number of ordinary hospitalized patients increased to 205
There were 26 people with common oxygen transfusion disease, an increase of 6 over the previous day.
Ordinary oxygen patients use ordinary isolation wards and masked ventilators, which are noninvasive, do not need to establish artificial airways, and do not have intubation.
There were 205 ordinary patients in the isolation ward, an increase of 4 over the previous day.
0.8% of Delta infected patients need oxygen, and less than 0.3% of Omikeron infected patients need oxygen.
Imported from abroad 169
Yesterday, there were 169 new imported cases outside Singapore, bringing a total of 37,413 cases.
