The Independent Singapore News. Singapore News We offer in-depth analysis, opinions and breaking stories. An entrepreneur is born… not in Singapore. The Education Conundrum. By Alfred Dodwell Many are of the view in Singapore that the people are her only resource.
There has been much emphasis on education and Car utilisation causes congestion, not ownership. Alex Cook, an infectious diseases modelling expert at the National University of Singapore, said life had not improved "by as much as we might have hoped", despite Singapore being one of the world's most vaccinated countries.
The nation has relied mostly on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, with a handful of older residents opting for China's Sinovac. Last month, it agreed to a , Pfizer dose swap deal with Australia. With 50 per cent of Singaporeans now allowed to return to the office and most using public transport to get there, the city last week announced that more than COVID cases had been linked to eight bus depots across the island.
And it closed the popular Chinatown Complex, frequented by seniors over the age of 60, after a cluster of 44 infections. Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious diseases expert from Singapore's Rophi Clinic, said the Delta strain had moved the goalposts, in terms of what level of community vaccination was necessary. Dr Leong said 80 per cent was "not good enough because it can still burden the hospital system very significantly and there will be too many excess deaths".
Prime Minister Scott Morrison set a vaccination target as part of his four-step opening plan for Australia , with phase C triggered when double vaccination reached 80 per cent. However, Australia's threshold is actually lower because it is based on the population aged over Although Singapore has not endured as many lockdowns as Sydney or Melbourne, clinical psychologist Annabelle Chow said she had seen a 20 to 30 per cent rise in people seeking counselling at her practice since the pandemic began.
And she said the most recent setback with Singapore's increased infections was already taking a toll. Renowned as an international hub, Singapore last week opened a limited travel corridor that allows fully vaccinated people to enter the country without undergoing quarantine.
Dr Cook said the risk of the program was negligible, because "even if travellers bring another 50 cases that will have very little effect on community risk", given the current high rate of infection. With neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia still inaccessible, Dr Chow said the ability to step on a plane again had lifted the spirits of stir-crazy Singaporeans.
