IN Asia’s measures to curb the COVID-19 pandemic are yielding the best results yet. According to analysts, the reason is in the contact tracing systems and the rapid isolation.
In Singapore, for example, since the start of the pandemic, there have been around 60,000 cases of COVID-19 in a population of nearly 6 million.
In recent days, however, the state has registered about 10 new cases a day, almost all foreign.
There are several reasons why the world does not seem to be able to cope with COVID-19. First, the treatment. We do not yet have a proven effective treatment for the virus. At the moment, we only have antibiotics and Remdisivir. they don’t reach everyone. Only certain groups receive them. The second reason is the vaccines: three of them are quite promising, two are close to being approved, but we still do not have a widespread and proven effective vaccine, “Dr. Ling Li Min told NOVA. Who is an infectious disease specialist. .
“The third reason, which is probably the most important, is that this virus is quite clever. There are people who contract it but do not show any symptoms. It is a problem because many cases can go unnoticed and in this way, clusters could be created and the infection could spread more easily, “he said.
“In Singapore, we only have 29 dead. There was no second wave, “said the infectious disease specialist, adding:
“Even when the number of infected started to grow and we saw what was happening in China, we imposed certain measures, including the closure for two months. We also had social distancing measures, which were quite strict. There were fines for people who do not comply with measures “.
