A 52-year-old Singaporean woman who was volunteering at the Singapore Expo community isolation facility was tested positive for the COVID-19 disease, the Ministry of Health (MOH) stated on Monday (4 May).
According to the MOH, the healthcare volunteer – identified as Case 18669 – had no recent travel history to affected countries or regions. She is currently warded at the National Centre for Infectious Disease (NCID).
As of 12pm on Monday, the MOH has preliminary confirmed 573 new cases of COVID-19 which brings the reported cases in Singapore to 18,778 so far.
Of those, three infected cases work in the public healthcare sector, including a 33-year-old Singaporean woman who is a facilities manager at NCID, a 32-year-old Singaporean doctor at Changi General Hospital, and Case 18669.
This marks the second public healthcare sector case reported by the Singapore Expo facility, after a 34-year-old Singaporean woman – who was employed by the Health Promotion Board as a nurse – was reported to be infected with the disease on 2 May.
Similarly, the nurse also had no recent travel history to affected countries or regions. It was reported that she had not gone to work since the onset of her symptoms.
The Singapore Expo facility became the second “community care” facility for COVID-19 patients, after the D’Resort NTUC in Pasir Ris. It houses recovering patients of COVID-19 and patients who are confirmed to have contracted the virus but show mild symptoms. The facility has been in operation since 10 April.
There are about three community isolation facilities that accommodate COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms – Singapore Expo, Changi Exhibition Centre and D’Resort in Pasir Rise. Currently, more than 80 per cent of all COVID-19 patients are being housed in these community facilities.

毕丹星展示区内改建临时宿舍 入住客工需接受冠病检测

为减少客工宿舍内的群居密度,早前政府宣布将在今年底之前,先改造目前无人使用的旧校舍、工厂厂房等,以及兴建速成宿舍(Ouick Build Dormitories,简称QBD),安顿部分客工。 其中一所位于友诺士区的旧校舍–务能中学旧校舍(Bedok North Secondary School )改建为临时宿舍。 5月20日,负责友诺士区事务的工人党阿裕尼集选区议员毕丹星,曾介绍教育部正在该校舍进行筹备工作;而昨晚(2日)他在脸书分享照片,显示经改建的课室,已布置好床位、柜子、饮水机等基本设备。 图中可见一间课室内有十个床位,且都是单人床。和早前国家发展部和人力部联合文告,公布的客工宿舍新标准相符。 毕丹星指出,他在昨早接到通知,了解务能中学旧校舍将在昨日起,分批次接收客工。 “被分配来此的客工,包括那些经已从社区护理设施或医院康复出院的。”…

推婴儿车上跑道遭男子批评 妇女怒轰:我有权利使用

一名妇女推着婴儿车到体育场的跑步道上慢跑,被一名男子截停,要求她停止在跑道上跑步,因为会引起人们投诉“不能在跑道上推动PMD(个人代步工具)”,令妇女感到好气又好笑,反问男子是否清楚什么是PMD后,自顾自继续跑步。 在脸书群组Road.sg今午上传了一段约1分钟的视频,可见一名身穿粉红运动装女子推着婴儿车在跑道上,和一名身穿全黑的男子争执。 “你知道什么是PMD吗?” 只听到妇女质问男子,“我为什么不能在这里跑步?”,而男子的回应并不清楚,但是透过妇女的反应,相信男子的回应并不能令她满意。 据妇女的回应,男子似乎怕接获指有人在跑道上使用个人代步工具的投诉,所以要求妇女离开。这一回应令妇女哭笑不得,且更为生气地反问道,“你知道什么是PMD吗?” 她表示跑道这么大,人人都有权利使用跑道,为什么她就不能够使用。 “这是个公共的地方,每个人都有权利用的。” 妇女认为自己的作为并没有伤害到任何人,也没有危害到任何人的安全,因此选择无视男子的要求,继续她的行程。 有关视频在短短3小时就获得97人留言,而且显而易见的,网民都认同妇女的立场。 网民认为男子其实并不是真的了解PMD的意思,且似乎是鸡蛋里挑骨头,故意找茬。 “如果妇女是挡住了你的跑道,体育场的跑道这么宽、这么多,换另一条啦。” 他们对于妇女推着婴儿车在跑步的举动表示认同,却认为男子的衣着就不适合用来做运动,男子自己才有问题。…
