A 24-year-old female airport passenger-service worker has returned a preliminary positive test to omicron, in what would be the city-state’s first local case of the variant, the health ministry said in a statement late Thursday. The second person is considered an imported case after returning from Germany via the vaccinated travel lane on Dec. 6. Both had received a third dose of vaccines, the ministry said.

The airport worker had been tested as part of weekly testing for frontline border workers. She was asymptomatic when detected through the testing, according to the statement. In the second case, the 46-year-old had tested negative with a polymerase chain reaction test on arrival. However, she developed a runny nose the next day and sought medical treatment the day after that, when she tested positive.

More importantly, the frontline has no symptoms … found out during their regular test. As for the other, she has mild flu during her SHN and got tested.

So get your booster … quick
Noted and thank you.  It is known 3rd shot restored the vaccine effectiveness.  Never said to what level,  likely to be 86% or even lower.  It is never 100% protection.  Asymptomatic,  so for the next 132 days,  she will be giving a certificate that she does not even need to do any test liao,  actually, good news to her if she does not have a long Covid.
