CNA article: Changi Airport staff member

among 2 new COVID-19 cases
preliminarily positive for Omicron

This article is talking about the changi

airport workers who tested preliminarily
positive for the omicron variant. This was
followed by a series of PCR tests done as
part of the rostered routine testing, which
determines whether the workers are
infected with the omicron variant. If the
result has the S-gene Target Failure, then
it is said that a person might have been
infected with the omicron variant. I think
the Singapore government is doing well at
imposing travel restrictions to South
African regions, then now becoming
COVID-resilient and Singapore residents
can enter Singapore but they must
undergo PCR tests on days 3 and 7 of
their 10-day quarantine. Permanent
residents cannot enter but transit through
Singapore. I think that Singapore is not in
a good mood to reopen its borders. I think
Singapore may impose another circuit
breaker if the situation does not improve.
