《专家:即使病例上升,Covid-19的严重性可能还保持在较低水平》 《Experts: Even if Covid-19 case rises, the severity is likely to remain low》

新加坡 – 专家们说,由于本月(六月)有许多人计划旅行,同时,新的Covid-19变种在全球蔓延,所以新加坡的Covid-19传播量一定会增加。
SINGAPORE-Experts say that since many people has travel plan this month (June), at the same time, the new Covid-19 variant is spreading globally, therefore, the spread of Covid-19 in Singapore will definitely increase.

但是,即便病例会在未来 几周内增加,Covid-19的发病率也可能还保持在较低水平。
However, even if cases will increase in the coming weeks, the commission severity of Covid-19 may remain low.

新加坡国立大学Saw Swee Hock公共健康学院院长,Teo Yik Ying教授列出,这是源于三个主要原因。
Professor Teo Yik Ying, Dean of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore, listed three main reasons for the low increment of Covid-19.

首先,新加坡已经为96%符合条件的人口接种疫苗,76%的人口也已经接受了第三次的加强注射,因此整体人口在一定的程度上起了对严重疾病的保护。
First of all, Singapore has vaccinated 96% of the eligible population, and 76% of the population has also received the third enhanced injection, so the overall population is protected from serious diseases to a certain extent.

二,由于已有130万人口被感染,实际被感染人数可能是这个数字的两倍。意思说,差不多50%的新加坡人口已经被感染过了。二次或再次感染通常比上个症状来的轻。
Second, since 1.3 million people have been infected, the actual number of infections may be twice that number. It means that almost 50% of Singapore's population has been infected. Secondary or reinfection is usually lighter than the previous symptom.

三,新加坡还继续要求人们在室内环境中使用口罩,这也会在一定的程度上减少Covid-19的超级传播。
Third, Singapore also continues to require people to use masks in indoor environments, which will also reduce the super spread of Covid-19 to a certain extent.
