It has been about one week since Singapore entered the Stabilisation Phase on 27 September 2021.
The vast majority – over 98% - of infected individuals have mild or no symptoms, and 0.3% needed ICU care or died. This is a result of having vaccinated the great majority of the population, who experienced mild illness even as breakthrough infections occur.
Nevertheless, Singapore is ramping up healthcare and response capacity to cope with the rising cases. Singapore is also stabilising the situation and familiarising people to the new healthcare protocols, such as the Home Recovery Programme and the self-isolation protocol for asymptomatic individuals who test positive on antigen rapid test (ART) self-test kits.
This will allow Singapore to focus healthcare resources to care for and treat cases who truly need the medical care. Singapore want to thank the public for their patience and support for these new protocols, and to reassure everyone that Home Recovery is safe and suitable for most individuals, especially if they are younger or vaccinated individuals.
