Dear All,
It is not my intention to spread rumours but these are what I gathered from my industry whatsapp chatgroup:
1. Doctors are sharing that ART tests are not reliable for Omicron. You can have symptoms for 3-5 days, before getting a positive on ART. Many clinics are now closed as doctors unintentionally became exposed to a lot of COVID patients who were initially ART-negative.
2. This week, several MNCs and stat boards have reverted to WFH for as many pax as possible (likely due to workplace outbreak). There is also an outbreak in airport. Since yesterday afternoon, the members in the chatgroup shared that there are more cases identified. If this is true, we may hit 8000-10,000 daily cases in the next 3-5 reporting days.
3. Booster shots are either not working or wanes in less than 60 days (as reported overseas). Till date, in the month of Jan, the healthcare community is bewildered that thousands of local January COVID patients have actually taken booster shots.
Please be safe.
