MOH says Delta Plus variant not detected in Singapore​

At a press conference on Thursday (24 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) director of medical services Kenneth Mak said that Delta Plus, the latest coronavirus variant of concern, has not been detected in Singapore.

A variant of concern is one that shows evidence of higher transmissibility and virulence, leading to more infections.
“For every case that we diagnose, where possible, we will be carrying out phylogenetic studies and (we will) look out for the specific variant causing these infections, and we will certainly be on the lookout for any Delta Plus variant as it has been reported,” Mak replied in response to media enquiries

Delta Plus is the Delta variant of the coronavirus with an additional mutation in a particular spike protein K417N. The Delta variant was first detected in India last year, while Delta Plus was detected in April also in India.

There are currently 2 versions of Delta Plus – the AY1 version that has been reported mainly in Europe, and the AY2 version that has been reported in various places including the US.
Delta Plus is now found in other countries including the United States, Britain, Japan, Portugal and Nepal.
Scientists are worried that the additional mutation in Delta Plus, coupled with other existing features of the Delta variant, could make it even more transmissible.
“It is Beta’s K417N mutation that is believed to help the virus dodge neutralising antibodies — a vital part of our immune system’s defences,” Dr Sally Cutler, a microbiologist from the University of East London, wrote earlier this month.
“This means it can make vaccines and antibody drugs less effective, and increase the risk of reinfection.”

India’s health ministry has also stated that the mutation K417N has been reported to have an immune evasion property. This mutation was known to reduce the effectiveness of a cocktail of antibodies used to treat COVID-19.
The variant binds more strongly to lung cells and being potentially resistant to treatment and vaccines as well as immunity from previous COVID-19 infection.
Yesterday, there were 9 imported cases, of which 6 were travellers from South Asia.

How they know? For all we know, a CECA Keling asymptomatic carrier at Changi Business Park is probably having his native variant inside his toxic smelly body without him knowing about it.

There is now a Changi General Hospital cluster according to the MOH report.

Changi General Hospital cluster

Detected through surveillance:

Case 64442 is a 67 year-old male Singaporean who works as a porter at Changi General Hospital. He is a workplace contact of Cases 64413[3] and 64443. He is asymptomatic, and was detected when he was tested for COVID-19 on 23 June as part of the Hospital’s surveillance testing. His test result came positive for COVID-19 infection on 24 June. His earlier tests from Rostered Routine Testing (RRT) – the last being on 15 June – were all negative for COVID-19 infection. His serology test result is negative for the N antigen, which suggests the presence of early infection. Case 64442 received his first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on 11 June.

Case 64443 is a 72 year-old male Singaporean who works as a porter at Changi General Hospital. He is a workplace contact of Cases 64413 and 64442. He developed a runny nose on 16 June but did not seek medical attention. He was detected when he was tested for COVID-19 on 23 June as part of the Hospital’s surveillance testing. His test result came positive for COVID-19 infection on 24 June. His earlier tests from RRT – the last being on 10 June – were all negative for COVID-19 infection. His serology test result is negative for the N antigen, which suggests the presence of early infection. Case 64442 received his first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on 18 March and the second dose on 8 April.

Hey Softie, so sissy over pointer. This is verbal mirage warfare here, the pointer is to instigate to rise your heat and u fall into it....

There is no truth in here, play this Chinese Chess game of mirage here.... blocked the attack and plan an attack to 将军.... get it... keep the mystery and master this game of illusion to keep yr head above the bar...

 

[bobby]

Maybe it is disguised as Indian Variant Plus.......

 

[batman1]

ARE the PAP ready to exterminate the Indian Variant ? Or are they waiting for X'mas ?

ARE the PAP ready to exterminate the Indian Variant ? Or are they waiting for X'mas ?

There is nothing PAP can do to exterminate the Indian variant, hence they must be waiting for Xmas.
