EDITORYAL – Pinarami muna saka naghigpit
POSIBLENG ang pagdami ng kaso ng COVID sa bansa ay dahil sa Omicron variant. Sobrang bilis nang pagdami ng variant. Una nang sinabi ng World Health Organization (WHO) na ang variant na ito ay mas mabilis kumalat subalit hindi kasing bangis ng Delta na nanalasa sa bansa noong Agosto hanggang Oktubre 2021. Ang Delta rin ang nanalasa sa India na maraming namatay. Sa dami ng namatay sa India, hindi na kinaya ng mga crematorium ang pagsunog sa mga bangkay kaya in open spaces na sinunog. Mano-mano na ang pagsunog kung saan, tinatambakan ng mga tuyong sanga ng kahoy ang bangkay at saka sisindihan. Ang ibang bangkay ay ipinaanod na lamang sa Ganges River.

The Straits Times says
Celebrate, yes, but stay cautious too
The breaches of safe management rules by revellers who gathered on New Year’s Eve in Clarke Quay have illustrated just why the authorities have seen fit to regularly remind the public about the need for caution and vigilance as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage. If last year was dominated by the Delta variant, this year might well be that of the Omicron strain, which is far more infectious than its predecessor. Under these circumstances, it was foolish that hundreds were involved in a gathering, whether spontaneously or loosely organised, that the authorities have described as a potential superspreader event. Singapore has navigated the pandemic well and the situation has been stable.
While it is understandable that people want to mark special occasions, the gathering last Friday gave cause for worry especially as Omicron looms. The strain already accounts for 17 per cent of coronavirus cases here. The social psychology behind the event should be taken into account so that future incidents during festive periods can be better managed without the need for punitive intervention by the authorities. While people may have felt it was all right to celebrate an event that promised, metaphorically, to provide them with a break from the social restrictions that have become habitual over the past two years, they had to also realise that these are not normal times.

Enforce the plastic ban
Jan 1 was the first day the ban on four types of plastic waste came into effect, which was in line with the cabinet resolution made in February last year. The ban is just one move under a 20-year plan between 2018-2037 called the “Roadmap on Plastic Waste Management”.
Under the ban, plastic bags of less than 36 microns in thickness (widely known as single-use plastic bags); polystyrene-made food containers; plastic cups of less than 100 microns in thickness and plastic straws are supposed to be prohibited.
