根据卫生部文告,8月18日新增100例冠病19确诊,其中一例社区病例是39岁本地男子,在巴士车厂工作。 武吉班让综合交通中心(Bukit Panjang Integrated Transport Hub)成为感染群。为此当局为公共巴士所有职员都进行检测排查,上述职员便是在检测时发现确诊,且未出现症状。 卫生部解释,这名男子的工作性质无需面对大众、也不需和巴士司机和乘客接触。 至于入境病例,一例是本地永久居民,8月6日从印度返新;另一例是家属证件持有人,在本月10日从印度抵达新加坡。他们入境时履行居家通知,并接受检测。

交通警察昨日(18日)公布2020年上半年数据,上半年共发生了2千565起造成伤亡的交通事故,造成3千071人受伤或丧命。 不过或许因阻断措施影响,与去年同时期相比,均有所下降。 根据去年数据显示,去年的同时期共发生了3千832起造成伤亡交通事故,导致4千876人受伤或丧命。比起往年,今年在交通事故案件中下降了33.3巴仙;而受伤或丧亡人数则下降了37.3巴仙。 致命车祸的数量去年59起,59人不幸丧命相比,今年同期的致命车祸数量48起,不幸丧命人数50人。 上半年涉及电单车骑士的交通事故,从去年的2千215起下降到1千534起,但交警指出,涉及电单车骑士和后座乘客的交通事故,占据整体交通事故的约六成,而伤亡人数同样为六成。 交警指出,当局将继续和相关单位及机构合作,鼓励电单车骑士安全骑行。 此外,上半年也因闯红灯、超速和酒后驾驶造成的车祸也相比去年同时期减少。但上半年的违例超速案件则达到9万4359起,相比去年同时期的8万9718起,增加5.2巴仙。因此当局也强调,将会严正以待,呼吁公路使用者要遵守安全规定。 交警解释,我国自4月7日至6月1日实施阻断措施,当时路上行驶的车辆也有所减少,相信这也是让交通事故有所下降的原因。 另一方面,上半年一共发生了108起涉及年长者行人的以外,其中近一半是因为年长者违例过马路所导致。交警也会持续关注涉及60岁及以上年长行人,以及电单车骑士的交通事故。 为了能够更好传达安全信息,交警也会透过各种平台进行推广,目前当局正与人民协会合作,在指定联络所发宣传单、消毒液和湿纸巾给年长者。
