DOH advise to monitor FLiRT COVID-19 new variant

The Department of Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa does not see the need to implement border control and mandatory wearing of facemasks amid the reported cases of new COVID-19. 

In a press briefing, Herbosa told reporters the FLiRT COVID-19 variant monitored in Singapore is mostly respiratory tract infection, which means patients are suffering from cough and common colds. 

However, the DOH advises those with comorbidity and health issues to wear face masks whenever they leave their house. The said new variant is not covered by the previous vaccines for COVID although there is a vaccine intended for the new variant it is not yet available in the country.

Third Case of Corona Virus in UK confirmed

A 3rd case of infection from the corona virus in the UK has been confirmed according to "BBC Breakfast News".

The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged member states to report cases due to the new coronavirus. Presently, 12 respiratory cases including 5 deaths were already reported from several countries like Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and the United Kingdom. The WHO also urges health authorities to correctly report it as new coronavirus and not to describe these cases as "SARS-like" so as to avoid confusion.

Respiratory illness due to the new coronavirus maybe suspected in patients admitted in the intensive care unit in which severe respiratory difficulty is the primary sign or symptom. A laboratory confirmation is necessary since other similar diseases due to various pathogens are also very common.

A 3rd case of infection from the corona virus in the UK has been confirmed. We'll speak to the Health Protection Agency about this at 0640.
