COVID-19: The New Protocol


Update 8 Aug 2021: Changes to discharge protocol, more community care facilities as Singapore shifts to living with Covid-19

As Singapore moves into a new stage of living with Covid-19, changes will be made to the nation's healthcare protocols.

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Friday (Aug 6) that there will be three main changes - increasing the number of community care facilities and adjustments to discharge protocols and the stay-home-notice (SHN) scheme.

These will begin from Aug 10, as the nation shifts to a preparatory stage in its transition to living with the coronavirus, following rising vaccination rates here, he said at a virtual press conference held by the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19.
