Covid-19 crisis Local transmission is more prevalent
My friend entered Singapore from Indonesia to visit his father. 

He was tested negative on arrival and placed on home isolation. He was gain tested negative after the isolation period. 

A week later, he was tested positive and placed on quarantine in a government facility. He was discharged after being tested negative again.

During his one month stay in Singapore, he was restricted most of the time. 

It was likely that he was infected while in Singapore, as the virus is now quite prevalent in the community.

It appears that the current regime frequent testing and of isolation and quarantine is causing a lot of inconvenience, and is probably not effective in stopping the transmission of the virus. 

It also appears that the virus is quite mild in most cases and that the effort put into the testing, isolation and quarantine is quite useless.
