Importance: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has spread globally with sustained human-to-human transmission outside China.
Main outcomes and measures: Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic data were collected, including PCR cycle threshold values from nasopharyngeal swabs and viral shedding in blood, urine, and stool. Clinical course was summarized, including requirement for supplemental oxygen and intensive care and use of empirical treatment with lopinavir-ritonavir.
Results: Among the 18 hospitalized patients with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (median age, 47 years; 9 [50%] women), clinical presentation was an upper respiratory tract infection in 12 (67%), and viral shedding from the nasopharynx was prolonged for 7 days or longer among 15 (83%). Six individuals (33%) required supplemental oxygen; of these, 2 required intensive care. There were no deaths. Virus was detectable in the stool (4/8 [50%]) and blood (1/12 [8%]) by PCR but not in urine. Five individuals requiring supplemental oxygen were treated with lopinavir-ritonavir. For 3 of the 5 patients, fever resolved and supplemental oxygen requirement was reduced within 3 days, whereas 2 deteriorated with progressive respiratory failure. Four of the 5 patients treated with lopinavir-ritonavir developed nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, and 3 developed abnormal liver function test results.
Conclusions and relevance: Among the first 18 patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Singapore, clinical presentation was frequently a mild respiratory tract infection. Some patients required supplemental oxygen and had variable clinical outcomes following treatment with an antiretroviral agent.
"The Basic Wings Course is a critical segment of the RSAF's pilot generation pipeline. A key enabler for us to achieve this 50,000 accident-free flying hours milestone is the strong partnership between the RSAF and Lockheed Martin. Reaching this milestone also reflects our common emphasis on training excellence and safety. I congratulate 130 Sqn and Lockheed Martin on this occasion, and look forward to the Team achieving the next 50,000 hours," said COL Tan Yik, Head Air Training, the Republic of Singapore Air Force.
As the Training Systems Integrator for BWC, Lockheed Martin delivers a turn-key training system comprised of aircraft, maintenance, simulators, training and logistics management systems, courseware and instructors. The program is operated at the Republic of Singapore's 130 Squadron at Royal Australian Air Force Base Pearce; additional instructors at Paya Lebar Air Base in Singapore teach the Basic Aviation Ground School under the authority of the Flying Training Institute.
"Reaching this 50,000 flying hour milestone demonstrates the exceptional partnership we share with the RSAF and our team's dedication to deliver an efficient, seamless and safe flying training environment," said Jon Rambeau, vice president for Lockheed Martin Training and Logistics Solutions. "We are honored to assist the RSAF in training their next generation of pilots and look forward to delivering valued capability for decades to come."
As part of Team 21, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. is the original aircraft manufacturer for the PC-21 turboprop trainer and provides engineering and logistics support for the platform. Hawker Pacific Ltd. delivers aircraft maintenance and provides the "Authorized Maintenance Organization" for Team 21.
Turn-key training is a performance-based approach in which training is delivered as a service; benefits include increased graduate skill sets, shorter training times and lower training costs. Lockheed Martin's turn-key training solutions are in demand worldwide. The company delivers the United Kingdom's Military Flying Training System as part of the Ascent joint venture, and together with Team 21 was selected as Preferred Tenderer for Australia's AIR 5428 Pilot Training System program.
A food handler is any person who handles and prepares food and beverages in food establishments licensed by Singapore Food Agency (SFA). Chefs, sous chefs, cooks, kitchen assistants, food stall assistants, and food manufacturing workers are considered food handlers as they are primarily involved in food manufacturing and preparation. Food manufacturing and preparation may involve activities such as culturing, canning, deboning, cutting, defrosting, cooking, packing of food in raw or cooked form, among others.
Managers (e.g. restaurant manager, operations manager, food manufacturing factory manager, quality assurance/control manager), captains, waiters, cashiers, dishwashers, cleaners, logistics staff, maintenance staff, technologists (e.g. food technologist, laboratory technologist, quality assurance/control technologist) and other service staff are generally not considered food handlers as they are not directly involved in food manufacturing and preparation. They will be considered as food handlers only if they are also involved in the handling and preparation of food and beverages.
To ensure that food handlers continue to practise good hygiene, the refresher food hygiene training course for food handlers was launched in October 2010. The requirements for refresher training was revised, with effect from 1 October 2014, as shown in Table 1.
With effect from 1 October 2014, the refresher training for food handlers was aligned with WSQ standards. To meet the requirements for refresher training, food handlers can choose any one of the four training options available, as shown in Table 2.
Upon successful completion of the assessment for any of the above training options, a Statement of Attainment (SOA) will be awarded to the participants, certifying that they have met the requirement for refresher training for food handlers. They would only need to attend their next refresher training by the 10th year from the date of passing the course. The same training options applies at the 10th year.
SFA continues to recognise the Refresher Food Hygiene Course certificate awarded by the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), issued from October 2010 to June 2014. Food handlers who have attained the ITE Refresher Food Hygiene Course certificate are only required to attend their subsequent refresher training 10 years from the date that the Refresher Food Hygiene Course certificate was awarded.
WSQ Food Safety Course Level 2 builds on the foundation of WSQ Food Safety Course Level 1 to drive a deeper understanding and greater application of food safety principles. Food handlers interested in upskilling can attend WSQ Food Safety Course Level 2, which will equip them with the know-how on conducting food safety checks in personal hygiene, goods receiving, food storage and food handling. The list of training providers for WSQ Food Safety Course Level 2 can be found here.

Interested in learning a deaf language and exploring a new culture? Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) is our native sign language recognised and accepted by the Deaf community in Singapore. SgSL comprises a combination of Shanghainese Sign Language (SSL), American Sign Language (ASL), Signing Exact English (SEE) and locally developed signs.
Courses and Programmes We Offer
We offer a range of sign language courses and customised Deaf awareness workshops/programmes. We also cater to the needs of frontline professionals such as medical staff, police, emergency and social workers.
SgSL Workshop (Half/Full Day)
This workshop will introduce participants to strategies and techniques for dealing with individuals with hearing loss. Participants will learn the SgSL alphabet, basic sign language for daily communication, and communication strategies. Participants will also learn about deaf culture in order to have a better understanding on how to integrate with individuals with hearing loss.
This workshop will be conducted by a Deaf individual with experience in conducting workshops related to deafness and teaching of SgSL.
There is no formal assessment and each participant will receive a certificate upon completion of the workshop.
Work and Professional Programme
The Professional & Workplace course is specifically designed to fit your communication requirements. We will tailor a curriculum to suit your special professional needs using common vernacular and vocabulary. This will help your employees better understand the communication needs of the Deaf community, or be better prepared to work with Deaf colleagues or clients.
The eight-week course programme aims to provide employers with the appropriate and relevant information about people who are Deaf or Hard-of-hearing and provides an introduction to learning the sign language used by the Deaf community in Singapore.
The content of each session will vary according to the audience and context. Generally, we provide information on the following topics:
