The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 13 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore today (26 Feb).
All are imported among individuals serving their Stay-Home Notices (SHNs).
For the first time since 21 Feb, there are no local cases.
Today’s number brings the total tally so far to 59,913.
As the authorities are expanding the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, they’re also monitoring the vaccine’s effectiveness in protecting people from infection.
While there are no conclusive observations yet, they emphasise that it’ll take a while before the full effects kick in.
This is likely why a community case on Thursday (25 Feb) tested positive for Covid-19, even after he was vaccinated.
MOH revealed that the PSA Corp staff had received his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on 14 Feb. He tested positive for the virus on 21 Feb, in a routine test.
Explaining the phenomenon, MOH said that he could have been infected before the vaccine became fully effective, which may take a few weeks.
Be that as it may, the vaccine remains a key factor that may help Singapore progress past Phase 3.
Until they prove truly effective in preventing transmissions, we’ll continue to stay in Phase 3 of safe reopening.
In the meantime, we should keep up our ongoing efforts to fight the virus, and hope for better days to come.
