Singapore tracking the emerging Omicron COVID-19 variant very closely: PM Lee
CNA SINGAPORE: Singapore is tracking the emerging Omicron COVID-19 variant very closely, and could be forced to take a few steps back again before taking more steps forward, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday (Nov 28).
Speaking at the People' s Action Party (PAP) convention, Mr Lee said that Singapore has made a lot of progress in the fight against COVID-19, but must be prepared  for more bumps along the way.
" Right now, a  new variant of concern is emerging. We' ve learnt a new word  &ndash the Omicron variant. We are tracking this very closely. We are not sure yet, but we may well be forced to take a few steps back, before we can take more steps forward," said Mr Lee.
" But despite all this, I am confident that we will find our way to living with the virus, and safely resume all the things we love to do. We are  making  all this  effort because we want to get there safely, suffering as few casualties along the way as possible."
The Omicron  variant has been designated of concern by the World Health Organisation, with countries imposing travel curbs on travellers from a number of African countries.
On Friday, Singapore also said it will restrict entry to travellers with recent travel history to seven African countries following the emergence of the variant in that region.
All long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with travel history within the previous 14 days to Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe are not allowed to enter Singapore or transit here...

Just to add on.. you only appear to start to comment on Medtec after the surge.. it' s easy to comment on things that have happened(retrospective). 
Your shouting of what' s going to happen in next few days are all baseless and without any values..look at all your comment in SY and QT... 
also, i remember few days back, someone posted Medtec losses in Metech and you ask the person to go to Medtec thread.. funny you appear in Medtec thread now.. siao liao..

I will only be selective in my reply to only those who have stake in Medtecs and also providing constructive views on how to enhance the shareholders value. 
Any comments without value add to the discussion will be ignored outright.   
Definition of value add meaning how to enhance the shareholders' value & what can the existing stakeholders or existing management team do to improvise their current business model leverage on the new variant omicron opportunities to bring in more revenue so as to  increase Medtecs' profibility as well as  maximising their productivity and to reduce their overhead/operating costs in order to realize their long term business potential.
Omicron variant symptoms &lsquo unusual but mild&rsquo , says South African doctor

So... thereafter? You meant the surge is due to sudden increase in gloves sales in a day ah??

Medtec thread better not to have skelong
Lucky this way.
Else he claims credit. Everyone knows this will Cheong
But note I was the first to post the new variant when the news was not picked up. I am not here to claim credit but to prevent SKelong to say he is the first to do so.
He is a trumpeter.
Watch out for his BS.

Don' t brand this as fake news so fast
Use your brain, the two flight were from South Africa
Where Omicron is currently ravaging, what other variants can
they be inflected

Isn' t Medtecs share price went up from 0.285 to  0.4 in one single day?  This is about 40% increase in Medtecs share price.  Did you pass your PSLE exam?

Wah... beginning to doubt your calculus
covid 500 more infectious means production will go up 500 times is it? Sales will surge 500 times is it? 
the only thing for sure is this will impact life which is really sad. What' s there to huat about?

Anyhow bomb again... from Shen yao to QT, now you anyhow add baseless projection...
' Sales will go up exponentially' ??? Did sales go up exponentially when covid delta was discovered in Apr??? Share price was dipping... same for your beloved Aspen... 
company also made a declaration that sales for 2nd half is going to be less than 1st half
B-B sales are no longer so strong and that' s why they resort to B-C....   compared to in the early stage of covid, there are many competitors for medical supplies....

Actually is a unfortunate thing to happen ... I rather without this new covid than earn more money in stock market ... later got money no life to spend ...
The source where you stated Amsterdam is the latest country to report 61 cases of Omicron inflection after the virus landed at UK, HK and Israel
As far as I know, it is 61 cases of covid positive but still pending result for omicron. Pls do not post fake news
