The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Sunday (27 June) announced the detection of 14 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore, taking the country's total case count to 62,544.

Of the new cases, 12 are in the community, said MOH in a news release. Eleven of the community cases are linked to past cases, with 10 already placed on quarantine and one detected through surveillance.

There is one unlinked community case and no new cases at the migrant worker dormitories. Out of the two new imported cases, one is a returning permanent resident.

In its nightly update on Saturday, MOH said that an 84-year-old Singaporean woman had died from complications due to COVID-19 infection.

She was tested for COVID-19 on 15 June as part of the community surveillance testing for visitors to 115 and 116 Bukit Merah View, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on the same day. She had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, and had a history of cancer, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, said MOH.

Singapore's death toll from COVID-19 complications currently stands at 36.

Ganges exposes India's Covid graves

Seasonal flooding of the Ganges is flushing out shallow graves and exposing some of the hundreds of bodies that were buried by the river during India's recent Covid-19 surge.

Neeraj Kumar Singh, an official in the northern city of Allahabad, said that almost 150 bodies have had to be cremated in the past three weeks.

"We are not exhuming any bodies but only those which are floating up due to rising water levels are being cremated," he said.

"The area is spread over a kilometre (half a mile) and our guess is there are around 500-600 bodies buried," Singh told AFP.

"Every precaution is taken in dealing with the bodies while performing their final rites."

Most are believed to have died from coronavirus in April and May when India was hit by a spike in infections that overwhelmed hospitals in many areas.

Some families were unable to afford firewood for traditional Hindu cremations so bodies were immersed in the Ganges or buried in sandbanks adjacent to the river.

These are now becoming flooded because of annual monsoon rains swelling the river, washing away the sand and revealing the corpses.

The number of such graves has stoked suspicions that India's total deaths from the pandemic may be over a million, several times the official toll of almost 400,000.

Tens of thousands of anti-lockdown protesters took the streets of central London on Saturday 26 June, on a day with numerous protests planned in the capital. The protest against Covid restrictions was given added impetus by the news that Health Secretary Matt Hancock, involved in imposing coronavirus restrictions on the UK population, was himself breaking the rules with a romantic tryst with a colleague. Nearby, a pro-Palestine, pro-BLM, anti-austerity, anti-government protest was also happening outside parliament.

Look, the protesters do not wear face masks when the thirdwave surge quickly right now. Then you should understand why I said yesterday that UK was already in hell.

Government should not ‘rush’ into easing restrictions on July 19 – expert

The Government should not “rush” into easing Covid-19 restrictions in England in July, but data is looking “encouraging”, an expert has said.

Earlier this month, concerns over the spread of the Delta variant led to Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushing back the June 21 target date to remove all legal limits on social contact to July 19.

Professor Sir Peter Horby, chairman of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said: “We always have to be driven by the data, not the dates.”

He told the the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “So we’re watching it very carefully and there will be a lot of analysis of the data coming up to that date, to make sure we’re comfortable with that release.

“At the moment, the data is encouraging that we can do that. But we have to make sure that we follow the data.”

女患者在大埔新達廣場任職顧客服務工作，與日前確診、感染Delta變種病毒的27歲男子是同事。她經基因排序後，證實帶有L452R變種病毒株。

大埔女同事中招 Delta變種社區蔓延

東方日報
2021年6月28日週一 上午5:45

正在全球多地肆虐、傳染力高的Delta印度變種病毒，恐在港引起新一波爆發。大埔早前爆出社區首宗Delta變種病毒個案，於大埔新達廣場兼職顧客服務工作的染疫男子，其女同事昨日亦告確診，同樣被驗出帶有L452R變種病毒，揭示變種病毒已在社區蔓延，確診個案或陸續有來。有專家指確診者任職顧客服務工作，接觸的客人多，擔心商場會引起新一波爆發。專家又不排除隱性傳播鏈已經蔓延社區，呼籲市民未來兩周避免不必要的社交活動。

無打疫苗 檢疫期間發燒

本港昨日新增6宗確診個案，當中5宗是輸入病例，餘下一宗是本地關連個案，為早前任職機場地勤、染變種病毒男子的女同事。該名24歲女子於大埔新達廣場負責顧客服務工作，最後上班日期為上周三（23日）。她上周四因被界定為密切接觸者而入住檢疫中心，上周六（26日）發燒，同日入院，病人未有接種新冠疫苗。衞生署分析她的病毒基因後，確定她亦帶有變異病毒株。她居住的大埔中心10座昨被納入強制檢測。

增5輸入個案 均帶變種

輸入個案方面，全部5宗均驗出帶有L452R變種病毒，有兩宗由英國抵港，分別是22歲女子及19歲男子；另兩宗均於上周一（21日）由孟加拉抵港，為同一艘貨船的船員；餘下一宗本月18日由印尼抵港，為26歲女外傭，於赤鱲角富豪機場酒店檢疫。本港個案至今累計11,918宗，另錄得少於5宗初步確診。

呼吸系統科專科醫生梁子超指，最先染疫的大埔男子曾長時間逗留社區，不排除社區已經有隱性傳播，其女同事雖然在發病前兩日已被送往檢疫中心，但病毒的潛伏期可以長達10多天，認為早前曾去過大埔新達廣場的客人有一定風險，尤其是曾到顧客服務櫃台查詢的人。

專家憂第5波一觸即發

他又指，即使已接種新冠疫苗的人也不要掉以輕心，因打針後中招多數是無症狀，易產生隱性傳播，呼籲大眾未來兩星期最好避免大型聚會，「若果隱性傳播鏈已擴散出去，又遇上一個超級傳播的環境，就會觸發第5波疫情」。

醫學會傳染病顧問委員會聯席主席曾祈殷認為，要評估Delta變種病毒傳入社區的風險，要視乎個案是否出現第二或第三代傳播。他指該病毒的病徵主要為頭痛、喉嚨痛及流鼻水等，未必會發燒及咳嗽，呼籲商場顧客要留意身體狀況，出現病徵要去求醫。

Greece amended its policy given the rise in delta variant cases in Russia, the tourism ministry said Sunday. All tourists from Russia will also be tested for coronavirus upon their arrival.
