The new order will not apply to children aged below 12 and those who are medically ineligible.


Singapore:
Singapore has made Covid vaccination a mandatory condition for the approval of new applications for work passes, long-term passes and permanent residence in Singapore from February 1 next year.

Those renewing their work passes will also have to be vaccinated, The Straits Times reported, citing the multi-ministry task force (MMTF) on Covid.

The new order will not apply to children aged below 12 and those who are medically ineligible for vaccination, it said.

The new measure, announced on Sunday, is a part of the nation's adjustments to dealing with the Omicron variant.

"These measures will help sustain our high vaccination rates and facilitate the safe reopening of our society and economy," the Singapore daily quoting the MMTF said.

At the point of application, employers will have to make a declaration that their work pass holders and dependents are fully vaccinated upon arrival in Singapore.

Work pass holders must submit or present their vaccination certificates as part of the verification process.

Those with digitally verifiable certificates will have to upload them to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's Vaccination Check Portal system.

Those without digitally verifiable certificates will have to present their vaccination certificates to airlines or ferry operators, or at the checkpoint, before boarding.

People who cannot produce the necessary documents will not be allowed to board the plane or enter Singapore, unless prior exemptions have been granted.

Individuals who were vaccinated overseas must update their vaccination records in the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) and will be given a grace period of 30 days upon arrival in Singapore to undergo and show a positive serology test result taken at a public health preparedness clinic.

"Should they test negative, they will be required to complete the full vaccination regimen in Singapore or their passes may be revoked,” the task force said.

As for dependents of work pass holders, the vaccination condition will not apply to children aged below 12.

A load of rubbish from PAP and cronies who have invested heavily in vaccine manufacturers.

May God punish them for their evil deeds.

Only mandatory for new applications, not for existing PRs and employment/work pass holders and citizens.

‘Not the same disease’: Oxford scientist says Omicron not deadly like Delta​

The Omicron variant that's taking the world by storm is not "the same disease we were seeing a year ago," a University of Oxford immunologist said, reinforcing reports about the strain's milder nature.

The strain first discovered at the end of November appears to be less severe and even patients who do end up in the hospital spend less time there, John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford, said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

The Omicron variant that's taking the world by storm is not "the same disease we were seeing a year ago," a University of Oxford immunologist said, reinforcing reports about the strain's milder nature.

"The horrific scenes that we saw a year ago - intensive care units being full, lots of people dying prematurely -- that is now history in my view, and I think we should be reassured that that's likely to continue," Bell said.

Bell's comments came after the UK government said it wouldn't introduce stricter Covid-19 restrictions in England before the end of the year.

Infections in Britain have jumped by more than a quarter of a million in the past week, reaching a record 129,471 new cases on Tuesday (local time), even though the numbers for Scotland and Northern Ireland were not included.


The US on Tuesday hit a new record for the seven-day average of new daily cases: 253,245, surpassing the previous high of 248,209 cases on January 12.
The total number of US coronavirus cases since the pandemic began has tipped past 63 million with more than 816,000 deaths recorded.
