Over 200,000 people quarantined as part of wide net cast to contain KTV Covid-19 cluster: Ong Ye Kung
By JANICE LIM
Published JULY 16, 2021
SINGAPORE — The Government has quarantined 202,480 individuals who could potentially be part of a fast-growing Covid-19 cluster involving several KTV lounges.
These people are staff of the KTV lounges, as well as some patrons of the lounges detected through Safe Entry and TraceTogether, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Friday (July 16).
Addressing the media during a conference by the multi-ministry Covid-19 task force, he added that they will be tested multiple times while serving the quarantine, and some have already tested positive for Covid-19.
This is the first of four “rings” being implemented to manage the KTV cluster, which had grown to 120 cases on Friday since the Ministry of Health (MOH) first announced the cluster on July 12.
The second ring involves encouraging any other patrons who have visited these KTV joints and interacted with the hostesses to come forward to get tested as the Safe Entry and Trace Together data for these premises is “not likely to be comprehensive”, said Mr Ong.
After issuing a call to those potentially linked to the cluster on Tuesday, Mr Ong said 1,660 individuals have come forward to get tested thus far at the regional screening centres and public health preparedness clinics — primary care entities activated during public health emergencies — and 25 have tested positive.
On July 13, 160 came forward to get tested and 17 were positive. The next day, 501 people got tested and eight were positive.
On Thursday, 1003 took the swab test and there were no positive cases.
Those who have been negative, Mr Ong noted, are not out of the woods yet as they could still be in the incubation period for Covid-19.
Nevertheless, he said that the risk surrounding this group of people in the second ring is contained.
“The worry now is who else that they come into contact with before they get themselves tested and are they infected. And this is the bigger worry, which is the secondary infection,” he said.
Through TraceTogether data, the Government has picked up about 2,000 members of the public who came into contact with confirmed cases from the KTV cluster, and they would have already received a short message service (SMS) message that contains a health risk warning.
Those who received such an SMS are legally obligated to get themselves tested at designated testing centres and then self-isolate until their test results show that they are negative, said Mr Ong.
“So I want to clarify, in case they are worried, or their families are worried, is that these individuals, we are not saying they went to the KTV lounges, but you have come into contact with a confirmed case, could have been anywhere, and picked up by our data,” he added.
For those who tested negative, the Government will issue them an antigen rapid test kit to test themselves and monitor their own health for the next 14 days. At the end of the 14-day period of isolation, they are legally required to go through another polymerase chain reaction test to verify their first negative test result.
The final ring would be sending a health risk alert to “several thousands of people, or maybe more than 10,000”, who went to the malls or other premises where these KTV lounges are located.
People issued with a health risk alert are not legally obligated to get tested, but they are strongly advised to monitor their health, minimise interactions and test themselves.
Mr Ong said the challenge of this cluster is that it is unlike clusters involving customers in a mall or at the outbreak like the Bukit Merah View Market and Food Centre cluster where the authorities knew who the tenants were and where they live.
In those cases, the authorities can test everyone within a geographical area, he added.
“The problem with this cluster is that we don't have full information of who are the customers, where they have been to and where they are now. It's hard to gather them together and to mount a special ops, ” said Mr Ong.
He also said that the Government will decide how much to tighten safe management measures based on the capacity of hospitals, particularly how overstretched intensive care units (ICUs) may be.
Singapore’s ICU capacity for Covid-19 patients is about 1,000 and there is currently only one Covid-19 patient in ICU.
“If we see that the capacity is under pressure, we will need to tighten up,” said Mr Ong.
“So if in the next few days, more people fall sick and ICU, say it’s 25 people. In one week, it will be 50. One more week, 100. One more week, 200. One more week, about 500. Fifth week, 1000. System collapse,” he said.
“Five weeks is what it takes. We cannot wait five weeks. By the third week, if you see the number go up, action has been taken, quickly and rewind this back to Phase Two (Heightened Alert),” he said.
