Singaporeans can expect thundery showers mostly in the afternoon on six to eight days of October in exchange of the dry and warm days that happen in the last couple of weeks.

The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) stated the daily temperature is forecast to range between 25 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius on most days.

The met service then said that the maximum temperature is expected to be around 34 deg C on a few days when there is little or no rainfall.

Overall, the rainfall for the first fortnight of October is expected to be near-normal, it added.

The authority noted the dry and warm weather conditions have been around since mid-September as the result of south-west monsoon conditions with low level winds blowing from the southeast or south.

These are expected to gradually weaken in the first fortnight of October, it said.

The meteorological service also said that in the second half of September, the daily maximum temperature recorded hit a high of 35.2 degrees Celsius.

国外传康复后再感染病例 国家传染病中心:对出院患者采额外防御措施

昨日(27日)日本传出有患者在感染武汉冠状病毒康复后再度感染,造成人心惶惶,人们纷纷对康复后的患者提出质疑,是否存在再感染的风险。国家传染病中心(NCID)对此表示,这不太可能发生在新加坡,因为患者在出院前, 医护人员会对他们采取额外的防御措施。 在此之前,本地已有62名患者康复出院,国家传染病中心的专家表示,这些患者已经过确认体内并无病毒的存在,因此无法将其传染给其他人。 然而,专家也表示,目前仍无法掌握患者是否可多次感染的现象,因为仍未有足够的样本数探究。 国家传染病中心临床主任兼高级顾问医生苏安华素(Shawn Vasoo)认为,对于再度感染的现象是极少发生的状况,但仍保留其说法,并会对此进行评估。 为了能够重复确认,中心已开始对出院后两周的患者,在后续追踪时,采取抽查的可能。 日本大阪政府于26日证实一名40多岁的女性导游于本月1日康复出院后,26日再次被验出阳性反应。 但当局表示,并未掌握太多相关信息,而且正与日本当局确认具体状况。 除了日本传出有康复者再度感染,中国也曾出现类似案例。四川省卫生健康委员会已证实,一名住在四川成都“望江锦园”、感染武汉冠病的民众,治愈后回到家中隔离,但在第10天复检时再次确诊。 专家:若呼吸道存在病毒脱落的现象,即具备出院资格 《海峡时报》也对此向专家请教,国家传染病中心主任梁玉心教授解释,要判断是否具有传染风险则需视患者呼吸道的病毒传播情况,医生在检测上会特别注意是否在呼吸道上仍存在活跃病毒,并具传染风险。…
