Our local epidemic situation has been stable over the past month, despite
having stood down most of our Safe Management Measures (SMMs) and the opening
up of our borders. The daily average local case count is around 3,000 per
day, the average number of COVID-19 related hospitalisation has stayed lower
than 300 (compared to a peak of around 1,700 during the Omicron wave), and
COVID-19 related Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients are in the single digits.
2. However, we must continue to stay vigilant against the risk of a new wave
of cases, as immunity in our population wanes in the coming months and new
variants may emerge. As such, we will keep the requirement for indoor
masking. We also strongly urge eligible individuals who have not received
their primary series and booster vaccinations to do so quickly, so as to
protect themselves from the risk of severe illness should a new infection
wave emerge in the next couple of months. As we progressively return to
normalcy and learn to live with COVID-19, we will also begin to scale back
the pandemic subsidy provisions for COVID-19-related treatments.
Updates on Community SMMs
Mask-Wearing
3. Since 26 April 2022, we have removed most of the SMMs 1-5, except for the
indoor masking requirement which will be retained as a key line of defence
against community transmission. (Refer to Annex A for overview of SMMs 1-5.)
Nightlife Establishments
4. From 14 June 2022, nightlife establishments with dancing among patrons
will no longer be subjected to a capacity limit, and patrons will not need to
obtain a negative Antigen Rapid Test (ART) result to enter the venue. This
will rationalise the rules for night spots with other social settings.
However, Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs (VDS) will continue to apply, and
operators will still be required to conduct VDS checks to ensure that only
fully-vaccinated persons enter these settings. Random checks may be conducted
by enforcement officers to ensure that operators comply with the requirement
for VDS checks.
Transition from Exit Pass Requirement to New Popular Places Pass for Migrant
Workers Residing in Dormitories
5. From 24 June 2022, migrant workers (MWs) residing in dormitories will no
longer need an exit pass to visit community areas. To manage crowding at
popular places, we will introduce a new mechanism to manage the high footfall
at four locations – Chinatown, Geylang Serai, Jurong East and Little India.
If an MW wishes to visit one of these popular locations during Sundays and
public holidays, he will have to apply for a visit pass. Up to 80,000 such
passes will be made available in total per Sunday or public holiday. For a
start there will be 30,000 passes for Little India, 20,000 for Jurong East,
and 15,000 for each of the remaining two locations. No passes will be needed
if MWs are visiting community areas including popular places on weekdays,
Saturdays or non-public holidays, or if they are visiting other locations in
Singapore on Sundays and public holidays.
Updates on COVID-19 Vaccination
6. Our vaccination coverage continues to be high. 95.9% and 91.7% of our
eligible population have completed their primary series and first booster
vaccinations respectively. As for the second booster dose, as of 8 June 2022,
49.3% of persons aged 80 and above who are eligible have either booked an
appointment or already received them. As we take further strides towards
normalcy and ease our community SMMs, vaccinations and boosters become even
more critical to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
7. We strongly urge the remaining eligible individuals, particularly our
seniors who are more vulnerable to severe disease if they were to become
infected by COVID-19, to come forth for their vaccination and boosters, as
soon as possible. The Ministry of Health (MOH) will be mounting further
efforts to increase our booster rates, and details will be announced shortly.
Facilitating Second Boosters for Medically Vulnerable persons aged 18 and
above
8. Medically vulnerable persons are one of the groups of persons recommended
by the Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination (EC19V) to receive a second
booster dose.
9. From 1 July 2022, medically vulnerable persons with specific health
conditions[1], may self-declare their health conditions to receive their
second booster by walking into any Vaccination Centre, Public Health
Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) and polyclinics that offer vaccinations. To
facilitate their vaccination, they will no longer require a doctor’s
referral to receive their second booster. Other medically vulnerable persons
will continue to be able to receive the second booster by providing a
referral memo from their treating doctors. More details on the template of
the self-declaration form will be announced in the coming weeks via MOH’s
website.
Allowing persons aged 50 to 59 to receive Second Booster
10. We previously announced on 22 April 2022 that persons aged 60 to 79
years will be allowed to take their second booster about five months after
receiving their first booster, if they wish to. Since then, EC19V has
assessed that persons aged 50 to 59 years who wish to take their second
booster may also do so at about five months after their first booster. This
is in view of data indicating that the risk of severe COVID-19 increases in
the age group of 50 to 59 as well. This is also around the age when chronic
diseases start to set in. Hence from 10 June 2022, persons aged 50 years and
above who wish to receive their second booster may do so by walking into any
Vaccination Centre offering mRNA vaccines.
Recommended interval between primary series vaccination doses
11. The current minimum interval between the first two doses will continue to
be 21 days for the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Novavax/Nuvaxovid vaccines
and 28 days for Moderna/Spikevax and Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccines. This helped
to expedite early protection against COVID-19 during the acute phase of the
pandemic. Recent international data has shown that a wider gap of eight weeks
between the initial two doses of COVID-19 primary series vaccinations may
provide better vaccine protection for individuals. We encourage individuals
who are taking their primary series to book their first two doses eight weeks
apart. But those who need to complete their primary series sooner,
particularly those who are at risk of exposure to COVID-19 or more
susceptible to severe disease, may opt for a shorter interval between the two
doses as long as it is not below the minimum interval.
Private Vaccination Programme Extended to All
12. We previously announced that Short-Term Visitors to Singapore aged 18
years and above could receive paid Moderna/Spikevax vaccinations and boosters
under the Private Vaccination Programme (PVP). We will now extend the PVP to
all individuals in Singapore who are aged 18 and above, including local
residents. This will allow individuals who wish to take additional vaccine
doses, but who do not qualify under the National Vaccination Programme, to do
so based on a doctor’s assessment. Please refer to vaccine.gov.sg for the
updated list of PVP providers. As this is a private arrangement, the
vaccinations under the PVP will be at the individual’s own cost.
Updates on COVID-19 Financing Schemes
13. In Singapore, healthcare support in the form of S+3Ms (Government
Subsidies, MediSave, MediShield Life and MediFund) are extended broadly to
all Singaporeans. Notwithstanding, as part of our pandemic response, COVID-19
treatments have been provided at a very low fee or free of charge, going
beyond the regular S+3Ms. As life reverts to normal and we increasingly live
with COVID-19 as an endemic disease, we will need to progressively scale back
the pandemic subsidy policy, and revert to the S+3Ms healthcare financing
frameworks.
Reverting to Pre-COVID-19 Subsidy Policy for Respiratory Infection Treatment
at Public Health Preparedness Clinics
14. Since February 2020, more than 1,000 PHPCs have been activated to provide
subsidised care for patients with respiratory infection symptoms, whether due
to COVID-19 or not. Singapore residents pay a flat subsidised rate of $10 and
seniors from the Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation pay a lower rate
of $5. From 1 July 2022, 0001 hours, subsidies at PHPCs and polyclinics for
the treatment of respiratory infections will revert to pre-COVID-19 levels.
The $10/$5 fee will no longer apply, but Singaporeans will continue to enjoy
prevailing subsidies under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) at CHAS
General Practitioner (GP) clinics.
15. The above does not affect ART and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests,
where PHPCs and polyclinics will continue to provide government-funded swabs
to eligible symptomatic individuals at no charge.
Cessation of Government-Subsidised Telemedicine care for Individuals on
Protocol 2
16. Currently, individuals under Protocol 2, i.e. mildly symptomatic, low
risk, and recovering from home, and who requested for telemedicine care
enjoys full subsidy. In line with the above change for PHPCs, from 1 July
2022, 0001 hours, we will revert the subsidy policy to pre-COVID-19
arrangements. Full subsidy for the telemedicine will cease, but Singaporeans
will continue to enjoy CHAS subsidies if they visit a CHAS GP clinic for
treatment. Individuals under Protocol 1, i.e. those at high medical risk or
with severe symptoms, but are discharged home for recovery and under
telemedicine surveillance, will continue to enjoy fully subsidised
telemedicine care.
Updates to COVID-19 Treatment Coverage in Hospitals
17. Currently, Singapore Citizens/ Permanent Residents /Long-Term Pass
Holders (SC/PR/LTPHs) who seek emergency treatment for COVID-19 in Emergency
Departments (ED) of public acute hospitals do not have to pay any ED charges
if they are fully vaccinated, or certified to be medically ineligible for
vaccination. From 1 July 2022, 0001 hours, this will no longer apply to those
who do not require admission after visiting the ED. Those who are assessed to
require hospital or COVID-19 Treatment Facility (CTF) admission for COVID-19
treatment will continue to have their ED, inpatient and/or CTF bills fully
subsidised by the government, if they are fully vaccinated or certified to be
medically ineligible for vaccination. This will help MOH manage the demand
for ED services, to those who need them.
Towards COVID-19 Resilience
18. Our daily caseloads have remained under control even with the significant
easing of our community SMMs and border measures. However, new variants will
continue to emerge, and we must stay vigilant. As part of ongoing COVID-19
surveillance, the Ministry of Health will continue to monitor for virus
strains introduced into and circulating in the community by requiring some
infected individuals to take an additional government-funded PCR swab for
genomic sequencing. We urge everyone to still take the necessary precautions
and remain socially responsible to protect themselves and others, even as we
move towards normalcy and living safely with COVID-19.
