Ong YK & Gan KY: Why Sg can't open up like US & UK: it's all about VACCINATION rates! Sg to have differentiated treatment based on vaccination status

[UltimaOnline]

With 50 per cent of the population fully vaccinated, Singapore is not yet ready to open up as aggressively as countries like the UK and Israel, and some US states, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

Lastly – and "very importantly", he said – "they have very high rates of vaccination among the seniors, some going up to 90, 95 per cent".

Earlier in the conference, MTF co-chair Gan Kim Yong also said that the government would be implementing differentiated treatment or public health measures depending on vaccination status. This will be put in place as Singapore's economy continues to progressively open up.

"We will introduce a differentiated approach for those who are vaccinated.... they will then be allowed to do a lot more activities because they're protected," he said. "And for those who are seniors who are not yet vaccinated, then we may have to put in additional precautions to protect them. Some of the high risk activities... they may not be able to participate in..."

He stressed however that the government's focus in the next weeks, as Singapore reverts to Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), is to try to get as many Singaporeans as possible to be vaccinated as soon as possible.

UK has surrendered to COVID, that’s all folks.

The whole world is like a giant laboratory, each running a unique COVID trial to see how each system function/react. I’m not sure at this stage which country can claim it has herd immunity, but hey look! Sweden still alive without lockdowns and without masks in general.
