Tried out the TracieX breathalyser COVID-19 test before attending Parliament today. It was developed locally by Silver Factory Technology, a start-up from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The test has been registered with the Health Sciences Authority and is currently undergoing validation.
The process was fast, simple and non-invasive. I breathed into a special tube for 10 seconds, which was then closed, disinfected and placed into a reader for analysis. The whole process only took 2 minutes. I’m sure many would prefer this to a swab test!
Several Cabinet Ministers spoke in Parliament today. All three co-chairs of the Multi-Ministry Taskforce gave separate updates on the current situation and outlined our road map ahead.
The recent large cluster from the Jurong Fishery Port has forced us to delay our reopening. But our vaccination programme is progressing well, and the Taskforce will review the measures in early August. Hopefully by then, the numbers will have stabilised, and we can start to ease up.
We have to accept a certain level of fluidity as part of living with endemic COVID-19. Let’s stay the course; we will get through this together. – LHL
