Condition of hospitalised cases

2.     508 cases are currently warded in hospital. There are currently 35 cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and 8 in critical condition in the ICU. 7 amongst these 43 cases are fully vaccinated. Of those who have fallen very ill, 36 are seniors above 60 years, of whom 29 are completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.  

3.     Case 66910, a 69 year-old male Singaporean, has passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection on 11 August 2021. He had developed symptoms on 28 July, and was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital on 29 July where he tested positive for COVID-19 infection. He had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, and had a history of stroke, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. In total, 43 have passed away from complications due to COVID-19 infection.Figure 5: Number of Active Cases in ICU or Requiring Oxygen Supplementation

4.     There is continuing evidence that almost all fully-vaccinated individuals do not suffer serious disease when infected, unless if they had underlying medical conditions that made them more susceptible. Over the last 28 days, the percentage of unvaccinated who became severely ill or died is 8.7%, while that for the fully vaccinated is 0.9%.
