The majority of cases (180) (92.3%) were imported. On 24 January 2021, Singapore recorded 48 imported cases – the highest single-day report in four months. The new UK variant B.1.1.7 has been detected among imported cases – four cases have now preliminarily tested positive. Effective 24 January 2021, all travellers, including Singaporeans and permanent residents, will be required to undergo a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival in Singapore. Of the 195 newly reported 1 of 3 1 Singapore Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report Weekly report for the week ending 24 January 2021 cases, three unlinked cases have been detected in the community, while no cases were recorded in foreign worker dormitories. No deaths were reported this week. As of 24 January 2021, two new active COVID-19 clusters were reported, bringing the total number of active clusters to six.

Daily reported COVID-19 cases, Singapore, as of 24 January 2021 2 of 3 2 Singapore Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report Weekly report for the week ending 24 January 2021 Strategic approach Testing and surveillance On 18 January, a new multi-virus test kit capable of detecting both COVID-19 and seasonal flu received provisional authorization from the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore. This PCR kit can check for the viruses that cause COVID-19 and the flu and will provide a readout for both of them. No new dormitory cases had been reported since 15 December until a construction worker staying in Seatown Dormitory tested positive on 12 January (Tuesday). As of 19 January, the majority of mutations do not have any effect on the activity of the virus, said Professor Dale Fisher, a senior infectious diseases expert at the National University of Singapore (NUS) Hospital. On 19 January, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said government officials will go door-to-door to explain why vaccinations are needed and help individuals make online appointment bookings. According to an informal survey conducted by AsiaOne, about 60% of more than 120 participants aged between 16 and 70 are still uncertain about COVID-19 vaccination. Stallholders, shop owners, food delivery drivers and beverage industry workers in Chinatown will undergo COVID-19 testing ahead of Chinese New Year. The testing will be paid for by the government and will be conducted between 8 and 9 February, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a press release. Non-pharmaceutical interventions As of 20 January, precautionary tuberculosis screening will be conducted for certain patrons of the Singapore Pools Bedok Betting Centre after 18 cases were detected through retrospective testing, according to the MOH. Updated on 21 January, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for COVID-19 is safe for those with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and other chronic illnesses, but women are advised to defer conception for a month after completing both vaccinations, the MOH has said. As of 24 January, 50–70% of workers in private health-care groups have been vaccinated voluntarily. 3 of 3 3 .

Analyzing the effect of relaxing restriction on the COVID-19 outbreak for some US states Mahir Demir Department of Fisheries and Wildlife/Quantitative Fishery Center, Michigan State University East Lansing, MI, 48823 USA [email protected] ibrahim Halil Aslan Department of Mathematics, Batman University, West Ramada Batman, 72000, Turkey [email protected] Suzanne Lenhart Department of Mathematics, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN, 37996 USA [email protected] April 20, 2021 Abstract The ongoing pandemic disease COVID-19 has caused worldwide social and financial disrup- tion. As many countries are engaged in designing vaccines, the harmful second and third waves of COVID-19 have already appeared in many countries. To investigate changes in transmission rates and the effect of social distancing in the USA, we formulate a system of ordinary differential equations using data of confirmed cases and deaths in these states: California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, and Missouri in the USA to be able to investigate changes in transmission rates of the outbreak and effect of social distancing. Our models and the corre- sponding parameter estimations show social distancing reduces the transmission by 60% to 90%, and thus obeying the movement restriction rules plays a crucial rule to reduce the magnitudes of the outbreak waves.
