Right time for some easing of Covid-19 measures: Experts

0 Engagements It has been almost two weeks since tightened restrictions kicked in under phase two (heightened alert), and some infectious disease experts believe that safety measures could be eased come the halfway point this week. On July 22, Singapore adopted heightened safety measures that will last until August 18. The measures were put in place following rising community infections linked to the KTV cluster and the Jurong Fishery Port cluster. Currently, dining in is not allowed and the group size for social gatherings has been reduced from five to two, among other measures. Finance Minister Lawrence Wong, who is co-chair of the multi-ministry task force tackling the pandemic, had said the measures will be reviewed after two weeks and adjustments would be considered depending on the Covid-19 situation.

How phylogenetic testing helps experts establish links between Covid-19 cases

SINGAPORE - Phylogenetic testing compares different virus genomes and helps scientists deduce the index case of a Covid-19 cluster. In the case of the Jurong Fishery Port cluster, the authorities were able to determine that the strains relating to the cluster were of the Delta variant and similar to what was seen in imported cases from Indonesia. Dr Sebastian Maurer-Stroh, executive director of the Bioinformatics Institute at A Star, said a phylogenetic or family tree is created using viral mutations as markers to compare the virus genomes. In this family tree, close relatives are grouped together and one can then see which cases had formed a cluster - in this way, one can then deduce the ancestor of a cluster, said Dr Maurer-Stroh.
