Three missteps have brought Singapore to the current Phase Two Heightened Alert. As a result, Singaporeans are “biting the bullet” until three a half weeks later when it is unclear, at this stage, whether things will get much better.
The most ridiculous cockup is surely the emergence of the KTV cluster, which stood at 232 cases as of Saturday July 24. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said this did not in itself cause the P2HA, it was the Jurong Fishery Port cluster (740 cases and growing). Perhaps. But it has not been ruled out that some port workers might have contracted the virus or that there had been contact between KTV hostesses and port/wet market/food centre workers.
