No scare. Most fully vaccinated population in the world with 3 doses.

Should be just normal flu.

Thanks for F1 and the rush to lift vax requirements for tourists. Thanks also for lifting mask on rules.

Meanwhile, the situation at SKH appears to have returned to normal, with a visitor sharing in an Instagram Story on the afternoon of Oct. 20 that the estimated waiting time to see a doctor is now an hour and 22 minutes.

Other public hospitals in Singapore have not been spared either.

At KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), waiting times at the Children's Emergency can reach four hours to see a doctor, a healthcare worker told Mothership.

She added that at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), waiting times were up to six hours last weekend.

SGH also issued a notice on Facebook on Oct. 20 to inform people about the surge in patients at ED, and the current wait time remains to be six hours for non-urgent cases.

We are seeing a high number of patients at our Emergency Department (A&E). Priority will be given to those who are critically ill, such as heart attack, severe injuries or bleeding. The waiting time for other patients will be longer. For non-urgent conditions, your wait time could be as long as 6 hours.

If your condition is not critical, please seek medical attention at a GP or polyclinic. Some Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) are open in the evening and weekends, please visit www.phpc.gov.sg for the full list of PHPCs.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

MOH aware, says hospitals will activate mitigatory measures

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said it is aware of the situation at emergency departments in public hospital, said the ST report.

An MOH spokesperson said that hospitals will activate measures to mitigate "peak periods of congestion" at EDs.

These include activating inpatient teams to tend to patients in the ED, creating additional beds in wards and holding spaces in EDs, and transferring patients to the wards as soon as possible.

A spokesman from the Singapore Civil Defence Force told ST that it has arrangements with private hospitals to send stable patients to them if necessity arises.

MOH has asked Parkway East Hospital to make 25 beds available under this scheme, with the first patients transferred there on Oct. 19, ST reported.
