Debated in Parliament on 2 Nov 2021.
Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Health following the Government’s change of policy from September 2021 to require most of those infected with COVID-19 to serve their isolation or to recover at home (a) how many households have more than one infection at any one time in the period of September to October 2021; and (b) what is the number of people who have been subsequently infected with COVID-19 by another member of their household in September and October 2021.
I thank the Member for his question. I have addressed it in my reply to Question Nos 77 to 85 for oral answer on the Order Paper for 1 November 2021. [Please refer to "Updated Protocols for COVID-19 Patients, Vaccination for Children and Delays in Response Time by Government COVID-19 Teams", Official Report, 1 November 2021, Vol 95, Issue 41, Written Answers to Questions for Oral Answer Not Answered by End of Question Time section.]
