Infections jumped from 12,000 to 14,000 in 2 days. Singapore is using a new matrix for reporting Covid-19 infections from now. Dorm residents with clinical respiratory illness will be sent straight to isolation and treatment. According to Dale Fisher, Professor of Infectious Diesases, National University of Singapore, these will not be tested and numbers not reported. However, these will eventually be reconciled.
Important Update:
In a media briefing on Apr 28, after this video was made, MOH director of medical services Kenneth Mak was asked whether workers who are isolated without being tested first will be part of the official count of Covid-19 patients. He acknowledged that the number of COVID-19 cases may be higher than what is stated in the official report - which includes confirmed and verified infections - but the suspected cases will eventually be tested to confirm if they are infected, or if they have recovered.
“The numbers will reconcile. It's not an issue of fudging, or dodging or trying to hide numbers," he said. "It is really a question of making sure that our priorities in testing match the needs that we have on the ground, and making sure that we report as transparently as we can.”
Authorities will eventually test all of them, Assoc Prof Mak explained.
