Two people in Singapore were initially diagnosed with an omega-3 infection.
The first is a front-runner working at Changi Airport. This is the first time that a local person has been diagnosed with Omigran infection.
The second is a foreigner who came to Singapore. The Ministry of Health said this on Thursday night (December 9).
Both are fully vaccinated. They were also the ones who got the booster vaccine. One did not show any signs of infection. Another had mild symptoms.
The front-runner is a 24-year-old Singaporean woman who works as a passenger on Terminals 1 and 3 at Changi Airport. He also worked in the transit area. The health ministry said he may have spoken to travelers who came here from countries affected by the Omigran infection.
Second, a 46-year-old Singaporean permanent resident. The woman left Germany for Singapore on December 6 under a vaccination itinerary.
A pre-flight test on December 4 and a PCR test on his arrival in Singapore on December 6 revealed ‘no infection’.
The next day he went to the doctor following a cold.
On December 8, he was diagnosed with Kovit-19 infection. The next day he showed signs of an omega-3 infection.
Work is underway to trace the links between the two. Those who were in close contact with them would be isolated for 10 days in a private place. The ministry said tests would also be conducted on them.
“As the rapidly spreading Omigran strain spreads to many parts of the world, we should expect more strains to spread across our borders and communities,” the ministry said.
