Antigen rapid test (ART) kits for self-testing.


SINGAPORE — All households in Singapore will receive 10 antigen rapid test kits amid a spike in COVID-19 infections.

The Straits Times reported Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong making the announcement after touring a mobile vaccination centre in Yishun on Monday (27 June). Distribution of the kits will begin some time next month.

Wong, who is the co-chairman of the multi-ministry taskforce for COVID-19, also told reporters that there is no need to tighter safe management measures for now. However, this cannot be ruled out, as cases are expected to continue to rise.

The Straits Times reported him as saying that the uptick in the number of infections is driven by the newer BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants.

The Ministry of Health had said on 21 June that the two variants accounted for around 30 per cent of all virus cases in the past week, up from 17 per cent the week before.

Wong, who was with Health Minister and MTF co-chairman Ong Ye Kung during the tour, told reporters that there is no evidence yet that current infections are more severe.

With hospitals still able to cope with the situation, Wong said that Singapore should be able to "ride through this wave" without having to tighten existing measures. However, he stressed that the situation is fluid, and urged Singaporeans to be vigilant and do testing.

Okay test already so what?

People now with covid symptoms still going outdoor, and the test sucks because it only catches when peak but is already transmissible before that.

Want to implement a measure dont make half **** measure. Spread leg open big big

“We see about 1,000 strokes and heart attacks every month, handled by our public hospitals, and as we vaccinate in large numbers, coincidental strokes and heart attacks after vaccination will occur,” MOH said.

Covid-19 treatment subsidies to be scaled back as Singapore progressively returns to normal: MOH​

https://www.todayonline.com/singapo...pore-progressively-returns-normal-moh-1922581
From July 1, subsidies at PHPCs and polyclinics for the treatment of respiratory infections will revert to pre-Covid-19 levels.
The subsidised fees will no longer apply, but Singaporeans will continue to receive prevailing subsidies under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) at CHAS general practitioner (GP) clinics.

This does not affect antigen rapid tests (ARTs) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests.

PHPCs and polyclinics will continue to provide government-funded swabs to eligible symptomatic individuals at no charge, said MOH.

TELEMEDICINE FOR PROTOCOL 2 INDIVIDUALS​

Currently, Protocol 2 cases who request telemedicine care enjoy full subsidies. Protocol 2 cases are those who are mildly symptomatic, low risk, and recovering from COVID-19 at home.

MOH said it will revert the subsidy policy to pre-Covid-19 arrangements from July 1.
Full subsidy for telemedicine will cease, but Singaporeans will continue receiving CHAS subsidies if they visit a CHAS GP clinic for treatment.

Individuals under Protocol 1 — those at high medical risk or with severe symptoms, but are discharged home for recovery and under telemedicine surveillance — will continue to enjoy fully subsidised telemedicine care.

TREATMENT COVERAGE IN HOSPITALS​

Singaporeans, permanent residents or long-term pass holders who seek emergency treatment for Covid-19 at emergency departments of public hospitals currently do not have to pay any emergency department charges. This is only for those who are fully vaccinated, or certified to be medically ineligible for vaccination.

From July 1, this will no longer apply to those who do not require admission after visiting the emergency department. MOH said this move will help them manage the demand for such services.

Those who are assessed to require hospital or Covid-19 treatment facility admission will continue to have their emergency department, inpatient and/or treatment facility bills fully subsidised by the government.

Only those who are fully vaccinated or certified to be medically ineligible for vaccination are eligible for this subsidy.
