Doctors are however not too concerned about the imported cases they have seen so far, and believe their clinics are well-equipped to handle any possible surge.
SINGAPORE: Clinics in Singapore are gearing up to handle a potential surge in COVID-19 cases, as infected travellers from China may potentially arrive amid rising cases there.The chain’s busiest branch at Jurong West has been handling about 20 COVID-19 cases a week. In recent days, some of the patients have been travellers from China or their close contacts.
On Jan 8, China lifted quarantine requirements and travel curbs, ending three years of a strict zero-COVID policy. It also started processing travel documents such as passports and visas for citizens, after discouraging non-essential outbound travel since the pandemic began. Phoenix Medical is also expecting more cases, but its medical director Dr Chua Hshan Cher noted that there is no cause for alarm.
Dr Chua said: “But even then, I am not expecting to see cases that are far sicker or any different from what we have seen over the last six months.”
