"Expanding ICU capacity takes time. Not only do physical premises need to be constructed and specialist equipment procured, but years of specialised training are also required for future ICU staff.
If our current ICU facilities can be overwhelmed in five weeks with cases from the local resident population alone, then what does the future hold when widespread tourism resumes with any potential accompanying increase in infections from overseas visitors?
Also, many regional visitors come to Singapore for medical reasons and this may extend to Covid-19 treatment in the future."
